But throughout Turin the experience of chocolate is truly a magical moment. Because this city is the heart of the Italian Industrial District of chocolate, made of antique chocolate shops, retail and wholesale shops, traditional and industrial chocolate companies. And if the role of Turin in Italy &#8211; in the field of chocolate &#8211; is that of undisputed leader, the city has been also the first capital of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861. Thus, the 150 year anniversary of the country\u2019s unification, could not be gladdened but by the sweet nectar.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nStarting from <strong>CioccolaT\u00f2<\/strong>, Chocolate international exhibition (March 25-April 3), which honors the anniversary with a special edition to unify Italy in the name of chocolate: in Piazza Vittorio Veneto will be created a reproduction of Italy made entirely from chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>CioccolaT\u00f2 will develop in the historical centre, where more than six thousand different products will be presented, from Piedmont, Italy and foreign countries. During the event, in the city will take place several cultural and entertainment activities, as well as exhibitions and meetings devoted to chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>Greedy tourists wishing to visit Turin and CioccolaT\u00f2 can get the <strong>Chocopass<\/strong> (valid for the whole year), which offers discounts and promotions. CioccolaT\u00f2 is an event that appeals tens of thousands of people, including professionals and tourists who take advantage of the deals provided by tour operators and hotels in Turin.<\/p>\n<p>Photo by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/sis\/52613509\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Sister72<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Turin is the city of chocolate and to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Unification of Italy, this city is imbued with &#8230;
