The festival dedicated to food in all its forms will be back in Rimini.
Together with 12 chefs from Emilia-Romagna and 12 promising international chefs, Bottura will be in the spotlight of the Circo 8½, with show cooking events and gourmet dishes at street food prices.
The best local products will be on display at the market stalls along the seafront.
In the roundabout around the circus tent, special gourmet street food points will be offering the famous gelato, while an open-air salon of creativity and crafts will be hosting the best craftsmen and artists.
Afterwards, there will be a beach party on Saturday evening and a gourmet picnic on Sunday morning.
This year's event follows the 'plastic free' philosophy and is dedicated to the theme of the "sea as a shared resource" and the fight against food waste.
