Italian Culture in Singapore
Recent years have proven that Singapore is a real force in the world for contemporary culture. It is a place where style and design are always at the forefront, and it has an unusually creative energy that seems to enter into the everyday flow of life. It has a rhythm that is particular and unique, and very contagious, where new innovations are always developing at the speed of light it seems. The many cultures that make up the island city state all have a turn at participating in the constantly changing fabric of things here, and this is reflected in the performing arts, the design, and certainly in the food. As you’ll soon discover, Singapore is a wonderful place to get lost in the local culinary traditions.
It’s a very international place, with an international sensibility, and there are all sorts of varieties of food here. Chinese and Indian influences are very strong here, of course, but there is also a magnificent selection of Italian restaurants. The food here is excellent, prepared by chefs who are trained in traditional Italian cookery, as well as being great innovators. There are plenty of fresh ingredients in Singapore to make dishes that are absolutely sumptuous, and the seafood here is magnificent. It’s a great place for Italian restaurants, and it’s got a very significant Italian culture as well.
The Italian Cultural Institute in Singapore is a great resource for people of Italian descent looking to live and work here, especially if there is an interest in government offices. They also have a fantastic number of resources for anything related to the Italian language, including classes that are offered here or online. It’s part of a world wide network devoted to Italian culture, but it’s big in Singapore, and not just the language. Italian style sometimes meets Singapore style with a happy marriage, as demonstrated when Emilio Bergoni visited to introduce Pupa’s new Techno-Romance line of eye shadows, merging technology and romance. Singapore is a great place for these to meet.
