Festivaldelgusto events in the UK

The plans for the second Festivaldelgusto that is being held in Senigallia, Italy this September and also the planned Festival in Malta in co operation with Malta Sunripe are well advanced and we are pleased that as well as these two exciting events we are now working closely with Olivaverde and Slow Food in England to hold several small promotional events in London and the south east of England this summer and autumn.
The UK based events will take place at venues mainly located in London but we hope to also hold one promotional event at the famous and iconic Forum building in the city of Norwich in East Anglia.
We recently visited the exciting new venue, Maida Hill Place  in west London and we will now be holding two tasting and promotional events at this great new arts and food centre on 21st August, one to be held on a lunchtime and another slightly larger event in the early evening later that same month.
Maida Hill Place was originally a derelict and unused building and was completely renovated and converted into a beautiful arts and food centre by the current owners in 2013 as part of the regeneration of this part of west London.

I preparativi per il secondo Fesivaldelgusto che si terrĂ  nei pressi di Senigallia, Italia, questo Settembre ed il Festival in programma a Malta in collaborazione con Malta Sunripe, sono quasi completati e siamo lieti di poter organizzare questi due eventi, ed altri in futuro, in collaborazione con Olivaverde e Slow Food Engalnd nonchè l'organizzazione di eventi su piĂ¹ ridotta scala a Londra e nel sud est dell'Inghilterra questa estate per la promozione del Festival di Settembre.
Gli eventi nel Regno Unito si terranno prevalentemente a Londra ma speriamo di poterne avere uno anche nell'iconico Forum della cittĂ  di Norwich in East Anglia.
Abbiamo recentemente visitato una location, la Maida Hill Place, nel west-end di Londra e vi terremo due eventi di degustazione promozionali in Agosto 21, uno nelle ore cenrali della giornata ed uno nel tardo pomeriggio.
Maida Hill Place era originariamente uno spazio dismesso ed inutilizzato ed è stato completamente rigenerato e convertito in un perfetto centro per eventi artistici e del settore enogastronomico dall'attuale proprietario ed è parte integrante del progetto in atto di riqualificazione di questa parte della città.




The event at the HUB Westminster has been confirmed to take place on the 7th August and we are looking forward to welcoming up to forty guests to this evening event to take part in a joint Slow Food England and Festivaldelgusto workshop.
Later this year on September 6th we will be taking part with Olivaverde at the Norfolk Food Festival which takes place in Norfolk during the month of September at many different and diverse venues including markets, restaurants and farms throughout the county. Again we will be working closely with the Slow Food organisation and are also pleased to be involved with Raffles restaurants to hold a food event at the Library restaurant in the centre of Norwich.
Then possibly in November we are planning a similar olive oil tasting event and workshop in Norwich, this to be held at the iconic Forum building in the centre of this beautiful and historic city.This will be the fourth of these events that we have held in this city and the first at this outstanding venue

L'evento in programma al the HUB è stato confermato per il 7 di Agosto e saremo lieti in tale occaisone di ricevere all'incirca quaranta ospiti che prenderanno parte ad un workshop realizzato da Festivaldelgusto in collaborazione con Slow Food England.
PiĂ¹ avanti, il 6 di Settembre, parteciperemo insieme con Olivaverde al Norfolk Food Festival che ha luogo durante buona parte del mese di Settembre in tutta la regione del Norfolk in diverse aree e che coinvolge mercati, ristoranti ed aziende agricole. Anche in quest'occasione lavoreremo a stretto contatto con Slow Food ed inoltre saremo lieti di collaborare con il Raffle Restaurant nell'organizzazione di un ulteriore evento nella biblioteca comunale nel centro di Norwich.
Speriamo infine di poter avere in Novembre un'altra degustazione di olio di oliva sempre a Norwich nell'iconica location del Forum cittadino. Sarà il quarto evento a possibile conclusione della stagione e faremo del nostro meglio affinchè sia questa fantastica location ad ospitarlo.



The Forum in Norwich was built as part of the series of millennium projects in the UK and was opened in Novemebr 20011, since then it has come to play a very important part in the life of this ancient city. The building is open seven days a week and as well as hosting many shows, markets and exhibitions throughout the year it is also the home of BBC Radio Norfolk and a large public library.There is also a large auditorium which can seat up to 120 and this has the latest digital gallery with large screen and interactive technology and is used for workshops, lectures, presentations and performances.
We plan to hold a joint workshop and talks at the Forum, these will focus on all aspects of olive cultivation and fine olive oil production together with a tasting of up to six oils from central Italy,including four from Le Marche.

Il Forum di Norwich è stato costruito come parte di un progetto di riqualificazione a livello nazionale denominato Millennium Project ed è stato inaugurato nel Novembre del 2011. Da allora è sempre stato al centro della scena culturale di questa antica cittĂ . L'edificio è aperto sette giorni su sette ed oltre ad ospitare show, esibizioni, e mercati durante tutto l'anno, è anche sede permanente della BBC Radio Norfolk ed ospita anche un'ampia biblioteca pubblica. Al suo interno si trova anche un auditorium per conferenze che puĂ² accomodare fino a 120 persone ed infine una galleria digitale con ampi schermi a tecnologia interattiva usati per conferenze, lezioni, presentazioni e performances.
Abbiamo in programma un workshop da tenere all'auditorium in che si concentrerĂ  sull'intero processo della coltivazione dell'olio d'oliva extravergine e che prevederĂ  l'assaggio guidato di sei diverse tipologie di olio dal centro Italia, in particolare le Marche.

Malta Food Event in December

Festivaldelgusto are very pleased to be working on an exciting new event in Malta this December held together with MCA , the Mediterranean Culinary Academy and several Slow Food groups from Italy and other Mediterranean countries. We have been planning to hold an organic and sustainable food event in Valletta the capital of Malta since the Slow Food Mediterranean conference in Valletta last October. The event will mainly be aimed toward promoting small artisan producers from around the Mediterranean region as well as representatives from many of the countries taking part. During the day there will be a series of workshops, talks and pop up street food stands as well as a dedicated kitchen where chefs can prepare dishes which are typical of their home countries. It is hoped that the event can be held outside in the streets close to the beautiful Hastings Gardens, but if this is not possible because of the weather in December then it will be relocated to an indoor venue in another part

We will also strengthen our ties that we now have built up with Olivaverde, Slow Food Anglia, Slow Food Sicilia and Slow Food groups in Italy.
