Chocolate lovers rejoice! For the northern Italian city of Vicenza is calling your name! CioccolandoVi is back!

From October 18-20 Vicenza turns into the city of chocolate. Now in its fourteenth year, CioccolandoVi is a highly anticipated autumn event by connoisseurs and chocolate manufacturers alike. This year, twenty-eight artisan chocolatiers will take part in the event, all sharing their great passion and experience for chocolate.

It’s a delicious path that winds through the main piazzas of the city starting from Piazza dei Signori, the elegant and refined “living room” of the city, and continuing on to Piazza Biade, Piazzetta Palladio and Piazza Garibaldi. Along the way you will meet many who share your love of delicious, rigorously crafted chocolate.

Here is a partial list of some of the delicacies you’ll be able to taste: an immense variety of bars and chopped chocolate, filled chocolates, pralines, gianduia, truffles, hot chocolate, sacher, cocoa crêpes, cocoa liqueurs, chocolate covered fruit, hazelnuts and more! Everything is made with high quality ingredients and goes through a rigorous process for which Italian chocolatiers are so well known.
