The province awaits you at CioccolaTÒ
In the province, the festival has already involved local master pastry chefs busy in a tasty challenge to create the chocolate masterpieces displayed at CioccolaTÒ. The theme this year is the architecture of the territory and the public, together with a jury of experts, will be able to vote for the work they think is the winner.
