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.
