The story

Eurochocolate Perugia in Perugia

A citywide chocolate festival held in Perugia's historic center each October since 1994, built on the city's long history as an Italian chocolate manufacturing hub and home of Perugina, featuring artisan chocolatiers, sculpture displays, cooking demonstrations and free-entry tastings across roughly ten days of programming.

Perugia's medieval Corso Vannucci and surrounding streets fill with chocolate stalls, sculptures and tasting stands each autumn during Eurochocolate, a festival launched in 1994 that has grown into one of Europe's largest events dedicated to the product.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Perugia's status as an Italian chocolate manufacturing center, not a cacao-growing one, gives the festival its particular angle: it celebrates industrial and artisan confectionery heritage, anchored by the city's historic Perugina company and its Baci brand, rather than farm-to-bar origin

02

The mystery stays covered

Chocolate sculptures built to scale by professional carvers and displayed along the medieval Corso Vannucci are a signature visual feature found at few other food festivals of this size anywhere in Europe
