The 23rd edition of Eurochocolate, the mouth-watering event that has been extolling ‘His Chocolate Majesty’ in the streets of the historic centre of Perugia and its environs for more than 20 years, is all ready to go!
Between 14 and 23 October, chocolate will be available to savour in all of its various forms, tastes, consistencies and brands amid the artistic sights of Perugia. A rich programme of events is planned, including the now famous chocolate sculptures: 4 blocks of chocolate, each 1100 kilos (more than 2400 lb.), sculpted by real artists.
In this world of social networking and virtual sharing, selfies are a must and they will be the leading actors of this edition. In piazza IV Novembre, there will be a 7-metre-long selfie stick and a mega mobile phone, both faithfully reproduced from ‘the food of the gods’. The chocolate selfie stick will be displayed on a platform and whoever takes a selfie and shares it on the Eurochocolate site will receive a ‘sweet’ gift.
At the international chocolate festival where everyone becomes a bit of a child once again, there will be practical workshops in which even the little ones can try to make chocolate biscuits and become chocolate designers for a day. While the children are busy at the workshop, their parents can take part in guided tastings and their own workshops, improving their knowledge of the endless world of chocolate.
Getting to Perugina from the centre of Perugia will be easy, and a visit of the Bacio factory and the Perugina historical museum with a tasting of Perugina products will be memorable.
Eat, drink, nibble, taste, smell: you decide how you will savour the chocolate and #WithWhom!!!!!
