Bob Fest in Calabria
«The idea was born for a double reason, from the suffering and a feeling of helplessness felt following the death of my father, and from the desire to create something beautiful for Calabria and for some places in this territory that deserve to be known and lived longer,” he says Roberto Davanzowhich together with Anna Rotella gave life to the Bob Alchimia pizzeria in Spicchi in Montepaone (3 Spicchi, top rating, in our Pizzerie d’Italia guide) and always with her he decided to dedicate body and soul to this unmissable event. A day, June 30th, dedicated to sharing and tasting, which will enliven the National Archaeological Park and Museum of Scolacium in Borgia with 200 stands divided into thematic areas, from the one dedicated to Coldiretti to the area where you can try the pastry chefs’ tastings and chefs, from stands dedicated to Calabrian wineries and beer (Cala beer), to a terrace where you can try drinks from bartenders from all over Italy, up to the area dedicated to pizza chefs and street food.
