[B]Torino, October 23-27 2008
International Salone del Gusto[/B]
Lingotto Fiere exhibition center and Oval arena
Worlds best food festival opens in Turin on October 23rd, if you go to one event in Piedmont this year, this has to be it! Lingotto is of course famous to many as the site of the old Fiat factory and famous to many more for the rooftop test track featured in the Michael Cane classic film "The Italian Job".
Salone del Gusto is a journey of shopping and eating, this Slow Food extravaganza features exhibitors and flavours of all 5 continents . Of course market and "kitchens" is only a part, there is also the wine bank, enoteca, taste workshops, dinner dates and the slow food cafe.
Two paragraphs does not do it justice so check out the [URL="http://www.salonedelgusto.com/welcome_eng.lasso"]website [/URL]for full details. Of course Turin is an outstanding (and almost secret) baroque city, worthy of a visit at any time.
