The city of Gorizia in the Friuli region of north-eastern Italy will be transformed into a globe and divided into 20 distinct geographical villages. More than 400 stands representing over 50 countries of the world will delight the palate at Gusti di Frontiera.

Impeccable Organization
Along with tantalizing aromas, celebration is in the air! The borgo or villages will be organized geographically throughout the streets and piazzas. You’ll find a convenient map at the invent itself. Here is a breakdown: Borgo Africa, Borgo Austria, Borgo Central Europe, Borgo Northern Europe, Borgo France, Borgo Italy, Borgo Friuli Venezia Giulia, Borgo Associations, Borgo Latin America, Borgo Orient, Borgo Slovenia and the Balkans, Borgo Street Food and Piazza del Gusto.
And if all this were still not enough, the mornings and afternoons of the “Salotto del Gusto” in Piazza Sant’Antonio will be the icing on the cake of Gusti di Frontiera as they will illustrate, through workshops, conferences, meetings and tastings, the agri-food frontiers of the territory. On hand will be multiple experts and nationally and internationally renowned chefs and guest speakers.
