“The Italian Flavors Fair is an event that can encapsulate flavors, recipes, typical products, and wines, among the most iconic in Italy. Along with the beauty of the landscape, art, and culture, which have always been fundamental aspects of the tourism offer in Italy, food and wine become a strong attraction value for various travel destinations – says Luca Cotichini, Co-Founder, COO, BU Events of Valica S.p.a – During the eleven days of the event, those dishes and products of regional cuisine that determine and influence tourist flows are showcased, and they are an integral part of a broader tourist experience. Often, it is the products, production companies, and recipes that push tourists, both Italian and foreign, to choose to visit one place over another. The Italian Flavors Fair wants to showcase as many Italian gastronomic treasures as possible, making a selection as representative as possible of an almost inexhaustible heritage. Becoming an authentic celebration of Italian goodness, unparalleled expressions of a territory, and its production chain from agriculture to transformation to hospitality.”
