CIARAMICOLA SYMBOL OF PERUGIA
Perugia’s city is located in the Umbrian region’s heart, about two hours north of Rome. In addition to remarkable architecture and Universities, the town is the second capital of the country for chocolate after Turin. Women especially know about Perugia because of the Baci chocolates, filled with toasted hazelnuts, wrapped in multilingual love notes, written in several languages. Since 1922 the Baci have saved relationships with chocolate romance. The city also hosts a European chocolate festival every year. Hundreds of chocolate producers line the quaint city street, providing free tastings and purchases to thousands of chocolate lovers.
