day 1
Perugia: in the world of chocolate
Welcome to Perugia, a small jewel that preserves the appearance and the slow pace of life of a medieval fortified village.
Strolling through its delightful historic centre, you will encounter many unique artistic and architectural treasures such as the beautiful Piazza IV Novembre, whose centre is the Fontana Maggiore, the symbol of the city.
But it is just outside the historic centre that you will visit the Perugina Historical Museum, to embark on a fascinating journey discovering the “food of the Gods” and an extraordinary success story.
The itinerary begins with a short introductory video, to continue in the Museum Gallery where you will see images, wrappings, packaging and films, including the collection of timeless advertising Carousels; in addition to a section entirely dedicated to cocoa and its history.
The protagonist of the museum is obviously the iconic Perugina Kiss: devised by Luisa Spagnoli, right through to the record-breaking kiss that is hidden inside.
Have you ever tasted a freshly made Bacio chocolate? It will be the apotheosis of pleasure!
