Over the years it has become more and more important and is today the main wine festival in Italy and one of the most renowned wine events of the world. The full name of the wine festival – Vinitaly, The World we Love – recalls the passion and the effort of people working in the sector, projecting history and traditions to the future, and proposes itself as meeting point for all wine lovers of all around the world.
