Cosmofood is back at the Vicenza Fair, the exhibition of Italian wine and food and professional equipment, organized by the Mantova In srl company, now in its second edition. From 1st to 4th November 2014 public and industry professionals can meet about 300 exhibitors, grown by 100% compared to the latest edition, an increase that has prompted organizers to set up in this year’s edition the 15 thousand square meters the new Pavilion 7 of the Vicenza Fair. The increase in the number of exhibitors credits Cosmofood (20,000 visitors in 2013) as a reference point for the companies and the Venetian and Italian food and wine market.

During the four days of the Exhibition visitors and buyers can learn about and purchase the best productions of meat, wine, cheese, oil, cakes, and many other products from the Italian territory and from central Europe. 75 are the scheduled events, including cooking and wine tasting classes, seminars and demonstrations. Seven will be the thematic areas into which the exhibition hall will be divided, with the three big news in 2014: Cosmowine, Cosmobeer and Cosmotech. To these, the food area, the restaurant area, the bio–vegan–gluten free area and the events area add.
