The presence of exhibitors from various regions allows for a direct comparison of different traditions, offering visitors a broad overview of Italian pastry making.

Before analyzing the planned activities in detail, it is useful to clarify that the oenological component does not play a secondary role, since the Irpinia wines They represent a strong identifying element and contribute to a coherent tasting experience, where the dialogue between dessert and glass becomes an integral part of the experience.

Alongside the food stands, the calendar includes a series of events that extend the experience beyond simple tastings, creating a program where education, musical entertainment, and themed initiatives are seamlessly integrated into the city center. The organization has included opportunities to explore production processes and actively engage the public, striking a balance between educational content and entertainment.
