AGGIORNAMENTO:
Purtroppo, a causa delle recenti disposizioni regionali in materia di sicurezza, l’edizione 2020 di Eurochocolate è stata ANNULLATA. Vi rimandiamo al comunicato stampa ufficiale per tutti i dettagli, e vi diamo appuntamento alla prossima edizione!
Perugia torna capitale del cioccolato con Eurochocolate, dal 16 al 25 ottobre 2020. Un’esperienza unica, dove il cioccolato è sia proposto come prodotto sia come strumento di conoscenza di mondi e culture diverse.
Nonostante le difficoltà dovute all’emergenza coronavirus, il presidente della rassegna Eugenio Guarducci conferma che la manifestazione si svolgerà regolarmente:
“Grazie al coinvolgimento di Regione Umbria e Comune di Perugia stiamo andando avanti con il programma e nel rispetto delle disposizioni anti-Covid previste dal governo. […] I protocolli di sicurezza contro gli assembramenti ci permetteranno di gestire i flussi in maniera più ordinata; gli stand saranno disposti e messi in comunicazione con flussi separati in entrata e uscita. […] Il nostro, per fortuna, è un festival che si svolge all’aperto e questo è senz’altro un vantaggio.”
Anche il logo di Eurochocolate si è adattato a questo nuovo momento storico: i due bambini protagonisti, infatti, sono stati distanziati sull’onda dell’hashtag #distantimavicini. Inoltre, nella pagina dedicata alle news del sito ufficiale della manifestazione è possibile seguire tutte le iniziative con cui Eurochocolate è rimasta vicina ai suoi fan e sostenitori durante questi ultimi mesi.

Tutto il centro storico di Perugia si trasformerà in un vero paradiso dei golosi: un emporio del cioccolato a cielo aperto, con svariati prodotti delle più famose firme del settore dolciario italiano e internazionale.
Già alla fine dell’edizione dello scorso anno sono stati presentati il tema e il claim di Eurochocolate 2020: la 27° edizione avrà come slogan “Choco di parole”. Il presidente Guarducci ha dichiarato che “giocare con le parole appartiene da sempre al nostro DNA, pertanto riusciremo a esprimerci nel migliore dei modi intrecciando il mondo del cacao e del cioccolato con quello del gioco.”
Non ci resta che attendere il programma dettagliato di questa nuova edizione: tornate a visitare questa pagina per scoprirlo!

The first edition dates back to October 1994, with the current intends to remember and recall all its gluttonous history. In fact, President Eugenio Guarducci states:
“We will retrace the steps that have made this event famous, also thanks to the participation of some of the protagonists, national and international, of the chocolate world that have passed in these years for Perugia. 25 years of history are an important goal, but certainly we will not be imprisoned by the nostalgia of memories”.

Eurochocolate 2018
In the main square Piazza IV Novembre, in the heart of Perugia and Eurochocolate, a super chocolate sculpture will always be installed. This year, there will be a Maxi box of chocolates: 24 meters for a box containing 25 assorted chocolates.
This sculpture has a precise meaning: Eurochocolate is in fact like a box of chocolates, in which you never know what can happen! The public will have fun taking unique and original selfies to share, while the stage will be animated by fun games that will allow visitors to receive delicious tastings. Also, you will have fun sharing a unique and original selfie.
And this is because Eurochocolate is also sharing: a gluttonous feast and, at the same time, an experience to live in company!

And it does not end here! If it is true that it is a birthday, a full party can not be missed. Then mark in your agenda the 23rd October 2018, the date of a special party: there will be a big chocolate cake and the 25 candles will be turned off to celebrate Eurochocolate. Speaking of silver wedding, moreover, particular attention will be dedicated to couples who are also celebrating 25 years together: they are invited to write to the organization to the email correvalanno@eurochocolate.com. Not to mention the couples celebrating the 50 year milestone: the event will also be dedicated to them, with a special greeting to those present.
One of the most awaited events is the revival of Cioccolatomania, a success from the first editions of Eurochocolate, well impressed in the memory of the fans. This is a special guided tasting course, which will be repeated through testimonies of the protagonists of that time, often young talents who have become real national and international protagonists.
Another of the most beloved events of the Eurochocolate editions that will be repeated now is Sweet Moments: these are secret events that will take place throughout the event in a spontaneous and unpredictable way. To announce them, a simple message on the social platforms of Eurochocolate, which will be released shortly before the performance of these surprise artistic guests!
To have a memory of each special edition, guests are enchanted by a new line of chocolate products, inspired by the annual theme of the festival and made by Costruttori di Dolcezze of Eurochocolate. Last year we had music theme: there were chocolate cassette tapes, vinyls, CDs, radios and piano keyboards of white and dark chocolate. We are still waiting about the 2018 new line!
