“The Pasta Fest represents an important showcase for our companies” explained the president of the chamber of commerce, Pietro Falbo, “during which they will have the opportunity to show their excellence, and not only at a local level but also abroad . This is why the Chamber of Commerce of Catanzaro, Crotone and Vibo Valentia has embraced the project with conviction, supporting it through its special company. The history of the origins and places where this precious food, pasta, was born must be handed down and valorised and the Pasta Fest will certainly offer visitors a multi-sensory experience rich in the aromas of our beautiful land”.
