A few days ago, in the IV Commission for productive activities of the Lombardy Region, the hearing on the procedure for the approval of the bill for the enhancement of typical Lombard dishes based on game was held. The Regional Councilor and deputy leader of the Lega Floriano Massardi, promoter of the law proposal, intervened in this regard. "The President of Eastern Lombardy of Fiepet Confesercenti Emilio Zanola, the Vice President of Confartigianato Brescia Bruno Bettinsoli, the Vice President of FIPE Confcommercio Brescia Francesca Portieri, the President of the Italian Federation of Chefs Carlo Bresciani, the Mayors of the Brescia Municipalities of Serle were audited in the Commission (Giovita Sorsoli) and Gussago (Giovanni Coccoli) who have obtained the "De.Co." (Municipal denomination) for their spit and the author of the book "Brescia and the civilization of the spit" prof.ssa Anna Bossini - specifies Massardi.
“As is well known, since 2014 the current legislation has prohibited the sale of parts of huntable birds for commercial purposes, but not for consumption. A legislative distortion that jeopardizes a deeply rooted millenary tradition, as regards the spit, in the Brescia area ". "The bill intends to allow hunters to sell free of charge (up to 150 head of small game per year, equivalent to less than 10% of those which are allowed to be taken for each hunter) to private individuals and restaurants, but also to allow its use in festivals, small game as a basic ingredient for the preparation of the spit as well as other typical Lombard dishes.
All this always in compliance with national and EU legislation on birdlife ". “So the continuation of the process of this important bill to protect the gastronomic heritage of our territory is good. I thank all those who heard this afternoon hoping for maximum political sharing so as not to lose a centuries-old tradition that has characterized the province of Brescia "concludes Massardi (source: Floriano Massardi).
I AM CURIOUS to see how they will overcome the obstacle of Art 21 paragraph 1 letter T of law 157/92; I expect appeals to the TAR, in addition to the umpteenth beaten on the teeth for Massardi !!!
