The 2020 Italian Cuisine Week opened in Hanoi on December 7.

Themed “A taste of Italy everyday”, the event introduces to Vietnamese people many traditional dishes and drinks of the European country such as wine, ice cream, tomato sauce, noodles, olive oil, coffee and biscuits.

The week-long event will include other activities such as cooking demonstrations, guidance on how to taste Italian cuisine, and music concerts.

This is part of The Extraordinary Italian Taste project initiated by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and held in over 40 countries over the world.

In Vietnam, the programme is organised in seven cities and provinces.
