I prefer to go to an event during a quiet time of day, especially with two babies (17 mths & 3 mths). But the Eurochocolate sounds intriguing. I love chocolate and to attend this fest just once would make me very, very happy. :-)

god to hear from you. If I know you a bit, the large festival is not for you as it is really not for me. I do go every other year or so, just in case I discover something new. However the concept of tasting expensive chocolate on the go does not appeal to me.

Although I love chocolate, and I love Perugia, I’m not sure I’d really enjoy this festival. I don’t enjoy crowds that much, especially when crowds and food and sponsors are all mixed together. Ick. Doesn’t sound like a good recipe — I love your suggestion that the local residents lock themselves up for the 2 weekends of Eurochocolate!

That said, the Gubbio alternative chocolate festival sounds far more fun, that photo with the kids in costumes in delightful!

More and more I realize how lucky I am to live in this place that is not only beautiful but rich of “culinary opportunities” !!!!

Great store and resource!!!! Thanks for the post on chocolate my mouth is now watering Letizia!
