Choco Italia in Tour in Spoleto

Choco Italia in Tour is the travelling fair for artisan chocolate that, for the first time in Umbria, stops in Spoleto (province of Perugia), in Piazza Garibaldi with free admission. A delicious event that brings master chocolatiers from several Italian regions to the city.

Pralines, specialities and chocolate factory

The market brings together producers from different regions — Piedmont, Molise, Campania, Calabria, and Umbrian and Perugian masters — with pralines, Giffoni IGP hazelnuts, liquorice and sweet specialities. The heart of the event is the European travelling chocolate factory, run by masters from Perugia, with educational workshops on cocoa processing, the "Become a Chocolatier" experience, and the "Grandparents and Grandchildren" afternoon.

Shows and solidarity

For families, the Mauro Apicella National Marionette Theatre offers puppet shows with Pulcinella. The event also includes a solidarity initiative, "The Healthy Snack", with fresh local bread and artisan hazelnut cream, the proceeds of which support the Spoleto association "Il sorriso di Teo".
