The Chocolate Roads

23 March 2006

In collaboration with ICAM

The Chocolate Roads never end… but they all lead to CioccolaTÒ. The public will be able to make a round trip, discovering the secrets behind scrumptious chocolate bars and chocolates. A voyage that begins in the Cocoa Plantation, a special interactive museum in Piazza San Carlo, organized by Icam and by master confectioner Silvio Bessone, to illustrate cocoa production from the harvesting of the beans to the processing and finishing touches. The voyage continues in the Chocolate Factory and the Artisan Workshop, both courtesy of the Confartigianato, Epat and Confesercenti. This is the testimony of a job well done, of the passion, tradition, and professionalism that lend form and substance to sweetness.

Two week-ends of delightful delicacies in the Province of Turin

16 March 2006

Grand festivities in the 15 towns of the Province of Turin for chocolate-lovers during the week-ends of March 11–12 and 18–19. CioccolaTÒ 2006 awaits you in a enticing atmosphere: moments of celebration not only for your palate, but also for your eyes, ears, hands, and above all, your spirits that—who knows why?!—always seem to improve after tasting some good chocolate.

The innovation for 2006 is the Fencing Tournament. In anticipation of the World Championships to be held this year in Turin, the Organizational Committee, in collaboration with the Province of Turin, will bring fencing exhibitions by the Piedmontese Fencing Association to the communities participating in CioccolaTÒ. The men’s and women’s winners, one for each town, will then meet in Piazza San Carlo for the finals on April 2. Who will be “D’Artagnan”? Let’s wait and see! Happy CioccolaTÒ to all!
