To mark the occasion, IICCI had organised an exclusive evening, which showcased a group of iconic Italian brands, Ambassadors of Italy’s three millennia of history, culture and unparalleled sense of beauty, at Trident Hotel, Mumbai.
The event was aimed at bringing together Indian and Italian eminent personalities of the cultural and business world, in order to retrace the history of the Chamber. Beginning in 1966, a group of Italian entrepreneurs decided to set up an association acting as a point of reference between Italian and Indian industries, supporting the establishment of business ventures, therefore increasing the economic exchanges between the two countries. The IICCI has come a long way since then and is now comprised of a network of five offices in all the major Indian cities.
The event was part of a fortnight initiative known as ‘Festa Italiana 2016’, which celebrates Italian lifestyle, bringing together more than thirty brands and partners, jointly organised by the IICCI with the Consulate General of Italy in Mumbai, ENIT, the Italian State Tourist Board and the Italian Embassy Cultural Center – Mumbai.
Festa Italiana 2016 raised its curtains on November 20, with an Italian piano concert on board the Costa Luminosa cruise. The program offered a variety of activities, from an Italian food week where top Italian guest chefs would perform tasting sessions and interactive cooking demonstrations, to Italian movie nights, an evening to make the experience of the Italian wellness and much more.
Festa Italiana launched in India for the first time in 2002 by the IICCI, has become a sought-after appointment for Mumbaikars to enjoy all the best that Italy has to offer.
