CASA DEL CIOCCOLATO PERUGINA

Here is a good idea for a visit to change from museums and other works of the Renaissance! Young and old alike will be like Charlie in his chocolate factory: amazed and... greedy! The one and a quarter hour tour in Italian or English will make your mouth water... Inaugurated in 1997, on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the famous Perugina chocolate brand , this museum tells you the story of its famous Baci, which all Italians know and appreciate while sipping a coffee. In the den of cioccolato, you can discover its past with the chocolate museum, its preparation in the chocolate school, its production by visiting the factory, and its flavours in the tasting room. The first Italian chocolate industry, Perugina has crossed the ages and even provided chocolates to soldiers during the Second World War. A true institution in Italy, the history of the brand's advertising is a precious testimony to the past customs of the Bel Paese. Perugina has even opened a chocolate school, with courses on reservation. Check out the website to find out about the workshops on offer, which last from 3 to 4 hours, enough time to explore all the facets of chocolate making.
