Circular Renaissance – A Themed Dinner Experience

Friday, 26 September 2025 – 8:00 pm 

Step back in time with the “Circular Renaissance” themed dinner, set in the evocative setting of Manifattura dei Marinati in Comacchio. An exclusive gastronomic experience blending history, innovation, and sustainability.

A menu that celebrates tradition with a modern twist
Celebrated Italian chef Igles Corelli, holder of 5 Michelin stars, presents a refined dinner inspired by the zero waste philosophy and the principles of circular economy, ideas that were already present at the Estense court during the Renaissance.

Menu:

• Crispy cannolo filled with sturgeon and savoy cabbage, saffron sauce and arugula oil: a dish that evokes the splendor of the ducal banquets, using sturgeon, a symbol of the Delta region.
• Tortelli stuffed with wild duck, toasted butter, cheese sauce, and herb oil tell the story of the hunting traditions of the wetlands.
• Chicken breast stuffed with almonds and pancetta, served with a citrus sauce and spiced apple compote, recalling the Arab influences that, through Sicily, reached the courts of the Po Delta.
• Sour cherry and gold tart, a finale inspired by the theatricality of the Renaissance, so beloved by the nobles of the time.
