Perugia Chocolate Festival

One of my heart's desires is to one day travel to Perugia's Chocolate Festival which is held in October every year. Perugia is the capital of the Umbria region just north of Rome. This year the festival is from October 2008 to 26 October 2008 and is held in the historic center of the walled city.

Perugia is home of my favorite chocolate "Baci" which is how my grand kitty got his name! The festival offers all kinds of chocolates, cooking classes, cakes, beauty products & even aromotherapy. I, myself have never been but my clients are always kind enough to bring me home the details and the chocolates!

Perugia is known to be a cosmopolitan town but with so much history. As Umbria's capitol, it is a good home base for traveling through Umbria. It also hosts a huge international Jazz Festival, the Umbria Jazz Festival, that runs for two weeks in July.
