The tenth edition of L’Italie à Table is about to begin! Meet us in Nice, on the Promenade des Anglais, from May 29 to June 1, from 10am to 8pm.
With 1,375 m² of exhibition space and more than 85 exhibitors from 11 Italian regions, 5 trips to Italy to be won, and many events for all audiences, this edition lives up to the event’s reputation.
For Agostino Pesce, Director of the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Nice: “As the organizer of the fair, we are proud to see our event evolve in step with a Metropolis that is becoming increasingly modern. This 10th edition certainly retains the important characteristics that have ensured its success, especially the quality of products and exhibitors, but it also enjoys many novelties that will undoubtedly excite and delight the public, who have always been faithful attendees for so many years”.
