In October, in Viterbo, two weekends are dedicated to chocolate but that’s not all.
CioccoTuscia reinvigorates Viterbo with an intriguing program starting from this place: the stables of the historic Palazzo dei Papi and the nearby Piazza San Lorenzo. Just one bit of information for those who have not yet been to Viterbo, this is the area of the ancient Etruscan acropolis and contains the essence of the medieval nature of Viterbo.
If you have never photographed the sky through the decorations of the Palazzo dei Papi, if you have not enjoyed the spectacle of the cathedral of San Lorenzo (especially the bell tower) and if you have not walked under the loggia of the Dimora di Valentino della Pagnotta, then CioccoTuscia is the perfect opportunity to catch up.
Combining tourism and food and wine is the perfect way to spend an unforgettable weekend that involves all the senses.
The theme this year is The Culture of Sweet Flavours. An original way of presenting and enhancing the typical products of Tuscia through food and wine events that also involve different artistic sectors of cuisine and entertainment.
In the CioccoTuscia Village there will be exhibitors of confectionery products and some makers of savoury products, and there will be space for many new ideas of adults and children.
Pastry demonstrations by professionals in the sector for adults and educational and cooking workshops for children, but also sensory journeys to discover the ingredients.
The artistic experience of painting with natural colours extracted from plants completes the journey of the senses and art into food.
In the children's village: outdoor wooden play area, indoor play area with entertainment, street artists, flag wavers and musicians.
It is possible to buy the specialities directly from the producers in the market in Piazza San Lorenzo.
The 2021 edition of the CioccoTuscia Gold Statuette Award was awarded to Leonardo Bonucci, born right here in enchanting Viterbo.
The CioccoTuscia event is held on the weekend of 9-10 October and that of 16-17 October in Viterbo. You will be surprised by the sensory artistic journey!
