Piazza Italia: Colors, Fragrances, & Flavors

Piazza Duomo: 25th-26th-27th April 2008

Each year, “us”, the personnel from the special company of promotion for the Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Agriculture and Handicrafts from Imperia, leave our sea, to encounter a pleasant mission travelling around the world.

To consolidate our friendship with the city of Alba, we have accepted with great pleasure the invitation to participate at the 2008 edition of Vinum, by twinning our wine and gastronomy excellences with the grand display of Italian wines.

In Alba, it would be restrictive to only talk about wine and food. We want to offer visitors our most valuable and less known peculiarities: we’ll present a 360° panoramic on the city and the province of Imperia, the inland regions, where man and his work have always represented the most important and only developing machine.

This is why we have chosen a name to represent our land, “Colours, Fragrances and Flavours”, which summarizes in a simple and genuine way our mission, simple and pure just like the personalities of our people, the conservation of our values and traditions, that express themselves in the local productions.

Visitors will have the opportunity of tasting the best of our gastronomic specialities, discovering amongst other things, the secrets of the old oil mills, where the art of pressing is still applied to one of the most valuable quality of olives from all the Mediterranean area.

It will be a delight for your senses to discover the colours and smells of our flowers, famous world-wide and chosen to embellish the most important mass-media events: from the Music Festival in Sanremo, to the New Year’s Eve Concert in Vienna: The grand florist masters will be with us to create wonderful artistic flower compositions.

We will welcome visitors with our warmest, most traditional welcome, with the same attention and consideration that we pay to our guests, that each year, in an ever increasing number, choose to spend their holidays in our region, and choose from our accommodation offers, our beaches, our inland regions, to rediscover a dimension of life that is closer to what a person needs.
