During the summer of 2015, Milan hosted the World Expo with a theme of Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life. 145 countries participated in the Expo, amongst the vast businesses involved in the Expo, Dolceria del Corso Catering was one. With 22,200,000 in attendance, we put on a show for visitors all over the world, introducing them to the wonderfully unique cuisine of Italy. We guided our guests through the process of hand making Panforte; showing them the traditional methods to perfecting the ancient cake.
Notte dei Priori
We organized and planned the first annual New Year's party in the main square of Volterra: Piazza dei Priori. We quickly sold out tickets as over 3,000 local residents joined us to celebrate the New Year. We organized and planned a beautiful light show with the loudest sound system, a gazebo with a private area for our VIP guests and of course, the bar. We brought the main square of Volterra to life like no-one had ever seen before. A famous DJ played the perfect tunes for our residents who danced all night long in celebration of the New Year.
La Festa della Luce 2011
In the summer of 2011, we partnered with Volterra Teatro to organize a special event: The Festival of Light. As a dinner show directed by, Sergio Carrubba and Paola Ciucci, Dolceria del Corso Catering & Banqueting took the lead in planning and organizing the dinner. We provided elegant Tuscan dishes to be enjoyed under the beautiful projections casted upon the buildings of Piazza dei Priori. The event celebrated 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy. In honor of Italy's birthday, Giancarlo created a cake roughly 2 meters in size on scene.
