It is aimed to value the authentic Italian food and wine productions by introducing their quality to the audience; increase the perception of Chinese consumers on authentic Italian products and enhance the visibility of Italian companies in the F&B field in China.

Following the welcoming speech, Mr. Gianpaolo Bruno, Chief Representative of ITA Italian Trade Agency Beijing and General Coordinator for China and Mongolia, talked about the importance of food safety through the video. Then Ms. Cecilia Costantino, the Director of ITA Italian Trade Agency Guangzhou, brought up the concept of "Italian sounding" in the market, emphasizing the importance of identifying the authenticity of the products' origin.

The audience was served by an classic Italian menu composed by four courses, performed by Chef Patrick Benedetti, Caffe Mondo Chef de Cuisine of Four Seasons Hotel Guangzhou, and Chef Mauro Zanusso, Executive Chef of St. Regis Hotel Shenzhen. The two chefs created dishes in both traditional and modern way, letting the public have a further knowledge of the Italian ingredients and their evolution. The guests not only tasted the dishes, but also how an Italian menu is served. For the Antipasto, Pasta and Dessert, we invited the sommelier to explain the wine pairing to the audience.

 

 

By the end of the performances of the Antipasto, Pasta and Dessert, we invited the guests to have fun with some interesting blind tasting, which let the participants have a better knowledge on the Italian food&beverage in a relaxing and diverting way.

 

We do thanks all the participants from F&B Industry, all the Sponsors, KOLs and Influencers, media and journalists, who attended and supported the event.
