From February 13 to 15<\/strong>, \u201cThe Mall Porta Nuova<\/strong>\u201d in Milan will host the first Italian edition of the\u201cSalon du Chocolat<\/strong>,\u201d one of the largest events dedicated to the delicacy favored by millions of people around the world, inaugurated in 1994 in Paris. Three days of tastings, cooking demonstrations, and workshops for children. <\/p>\n\n “In Italy, in previous years, we always had a certain respect for our French cousins regarding food in general and chocolate in particular. But then we realized that our “Ma\u00eetres Chocolatier” are second to none”, said Salon organizers Roberto Silva Coronel and Peter Cerretani, talking about the reasons that led them to bring the event to Milan.<\/p>\n\n The \u201cSalon du Chocolat<\/strong>\u201d can be divided into several main events. The first will be a combination of chocolate and fashion: young designers from the Naba Fashion Lab in Milan will design 10 dresses made of chocolate, which will be presented during the gala evening on February 12, in \u201cThe Mall\u201d. The fashion show will be repeated on Saturday and Sunday, and the dresses will be on display for three days open to the public. <\/p>\n\n The second noteworthy event will be the \u201csensory experience\u201d organized by Gilberto Mora and the International Institute of Chocolier led by Luigi Odello, combined with a tasting of chocolate in its best combinations.<\/p>\n\n Iginio Massari, known for his participation in the Masterchef program as well as other Italian and international great “ma\u00eetres chocolatier” will take part in the third great event which will be \u201cChocoshow\u201d or great cooking!<\/p>\n\n During the Salon, special attention will be paid to children, for whom many different workshops will be created so that they can recreate scenes from Roald Dahl\u2019s famous novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Much attention will also be devoted to lovers and Valentines, for whom various initiatives will also be prepared.<\/p>\n\n The only thing missing from the set is a large space where you can shop, chocolate of course :).
