Italy has a long tradition of chocolate making, with famous and historic chocolatiers located in cities such as Turin, Perugia and Modica. Bologna, Naples, Florence and the region of Tuscany, even if they are not immediately associated with chocolate, also have their traditional artisan chocolatiers. Not surprisingly, it is also in these cities that some of the most important chocolate fairs of Italy are being held. For more information about Umbria click Here,

The event  is enriched by tasting, show cooking, taste itineraries, spaces dedicated to children and many others activities like the Chocolate Sculptures.
