On October 4 2004 the University of Gastronomic Sciences will open its doors to the first class of students. “It is a historic day for the Athenaeum, created by Slow Food and the Regional Authorities of Piedmont and Emilia-Romagna,” sustains Vittorio Manganelli , director of the Association of Friends of the University of Gastronomic Sciences, “and for all of those who have participated in the preparation of the campuses and courses over the past months. We would especially like to thank the Members and Friends of our Association.” Beginning Monday, more than 70 students from around the world will arrive at the Pollenzo campus; over 40 are Italian and 27 are foreigners. “The success which we have had in the application process confirms our expectations,” continues Manganelli, “in that we already, in the first year, have a notable presence of foreigners.” The nations represented in the new student body include: the United States, Japan, Austria, Germany, Great Britain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Mexico, Costa Rica, Ukraine and Palestine.
