On Sunday 22 November 2026 the dining room of Collina Luxury Relais in Clusone hosts Dialoghi di Gusto, the North/South Gala: a collaborative dinner in which five chefs set the Alpine cuisine of Val Seriana side by side with contemporary Sicilian cooking. Alongside resident chefs Caterina Vosti and Dario Gaiti, two Michelin-starred chefs, Giuseppe Raciti and Giuseppe Torrisi, take to the stoves, while the desserts bear the signature of pastry chef Rita Busalacchi.
Dinner starts at 7:00 pm and costs €250 per person, wine pairing included; it is reserved for adults. Seats are limited and bookings are confirmed with a 50% deposit.
Two territories at the same table
The idea behind the evening is to ask two Sicilian chefs to work with ingredients from the Bergamo area, and two chefs from Val Seriana to answer with their own cooking. The result is a menu in which dishes from the North and the South alternate, course after course, like the exchanges in a conversation rather than the rounds of a contest.
The chefs of the evening
| Chef | From | Role in the evening |
|---|---|---|
| Caterina Vosti | Beides Restaurant, Collina Luxury Relais | Resident chef, Northern cuisine |
| Dario Gaiti | Beides Restaurant, Collina Luxury Relais | Resident chef, Northern cuisine |
| Giuseppe Raciti | Zash, Riposto (Catania), one Michelin star | Guest chef, Southern cuisine |
| Giuseppe Torrisi | Cortile Spirito Santo, Syracuse, one Michelin star | Guest chef, Southern cuisine |
| Rita Busalacchi | Guest pastry chef | Desserts and petits fours |
Caterina Vosti trained at Eleven Madison Park in New York, Villa Kennedy in Frankfurt and Eden Roc in Ascona; Dario Gaiti grew up in Val Seriana and knows its cheeses, game and traditional flours inside out. Together they lead the kitchen of Beides Restaurant, which for one evening opens its brigade to their Sicilian colleagues.
