Change in date of event:
The greedy will have to wait at least a week before being able to devote themselves to the delicacies of Cioccolandia 2012. The organizers of the Pro Loco of Castel San Giovanni (PC) in fact did not want to risk and after various consultations, given the not very encouraging weather forecast for Saturday 10 November, they decided to postpone the demonstration for a week.
The new date is therefore set for Saturday 17 November. The risk of ruining the party due to bad weather was too high, therefore the board of directors of the castellana association voted for the seven-day postponement.
The program remains unchanged: lots of sweetness and fun for an event that has now become a fixed point in the calendar of events in the Province of Piacenza. The heart of the event will remain the center of the castle town, with many activities from morning until late afternoon and obviously the tasting of various desserts, starting at 15,00 pm with the inaugural cut of the chocolate salami along Corso Matteotti (this year will be 225 meters).
Followed by the sweet Montebianco in Piazza Agostino Casaroli (15.30 pm), the inauguration of the 5.000 profitteroles in Piazza XX Settembre (16.00 pm) and then Rita cake in the San Rocco area (16.30 pm).
The events may undergo changes, therefore it is advisable to check the event by contacting the organizing bodies directly. Caccia Passione is not responsible for any changes to the dates of individual events.
