Not everybody knows that Turin has been considered the chocolate capital of Italy for almost 400 years. In 1559, Duke Emmanuel Philibert brought to his ancestral castle in Piedmont the first seeds of cacao, which then spread throughout Italy. In addition, Turin is famous throughout Italy and abroad thanks to the Gianduiotto chocolate sort. As a matter of fact, during the event, there will be the Gianduiotto Day aimed at improving the knowledge of the prelibatesse, its preparation and all the Maitres Chocolatiers' secrets.

Lastly, public and private relevant actors, i.e. Turin Municipality, Regione Piemonte, Unioncamere Piemonte, Turin Chamber of Commerce, Confartigianato and Confcommercio, have accurately organized the exhibition in order to make it an international success.
