If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like âYou need to eat!â
Photographer Gabriele Galimbertiâs grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures. Â
âIn that occasion I said to my grandma âYou know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,â Galimberti wrote via email. âIâm going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you donât have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!â This is the way my project was born!â
The project, âDelicatessen With Loveâ, took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.
He acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.
