welcome
Caro Visitatore,
Well it’s that time of year again – benvenuto to La Dolce Vita with Viva Italia!
As you take a look around you today, we’re sure you’ll agree that this year the show has truly excelled itself.
Stop and take a peek at all the Italian goodies: we’ve got fashion, food, wine, entertainment, tons of holidays
and gorgeous properties for rent and sale. Also, for the first time ever, La Dolce Vita with Viva Italia, with
the patronage of The Italian Cultural Institute, has awarded Italy’s most stylish and finest personalities the
‘Dolce Tributes’ which recognise outstanding contributions to Italian culture. For those who didn’t manage
to see the awards ceremony at the start of the show then take a peek at Stand T58 to see who those
deserving winners are.
All this and more under one big roof with the Italian bustle and vibrancy that we all know and love and there
are hundreds of stands with just about everything you could want. Additionally there are a number of exciting
events taking place throughout the day, including property and travel talks, Italian music, our ever-popular
cookery school, a brand new Wine Academy with expert sessions from winemakers throughout the country,
including Bisol prosecco and superb SuperWhites chosen by the Slow Food group in Friuli and some very
interesting book sessions hosted by BBC Mondo Italiano presenter Roberto Perrone.
If you’re thinking about taking a well-earned break to Italy but can’t decide where to go, then there are
many options – from skydiving to a spa weekend and if nothing else, you’ll definitely come away inspired.
If Italian style is up your street, then take a seat at our glamorous catwalk, new for this year, and you’ll see
the best fashion being showcased. Then, when you’ve seen just what gorgeous things are on offer, take
a stroll down our ‘Corso Como’ where you can buy shoes (take a look at über-talented shoe designer
Isabella Zocchi’s offerings), handbags, jewellery and home interiors from well-known designers as well as
emerging ones. Then relax and indulge in some luxurious beauty treatments and demonstrations from top
Italian hair stylists and make-up artists such as Glauca Rossi and Pascal, who’s worked with all the stars.
You’ll find information about where everyone is located on the floorplan (see pages 4-5) along with timetables
for events and at the back there’s more information about stand-holders to look up when you get home.
So what you are you waiting for? Get going and have some fun!

Marchi (1864-1950), was the grandmother of Luciano De Giacomi, founder
of the Ordine dei Cavalieri del Tartufo e dei Vini d'Alba. De Giacomi, together
