On Saturday, August 22 and Sunday, August 23, the event dedicated to the Culture and Cultivation of Chili is back with many events for everyone After the extraordinary success of the last edition, which recorded almost 9,000 admissions, Peperoncino Day, the event dedicated to the Culture and Cultivation of the spicy fruit par excellence born from an idea of Adolfo Giannecchini and organized by the Azienda Carmazzi of Torre del Lago Puccini, is back for the fourth consecutive year at Villa Borbone in Viareggio (Lucca). Reconfirmed the two days of events with the unfailing transformation of the Giardino Sonoro into an open-air "museum" where to admire hundreds of varieties of chili peppers from all over the world, moments of cultural insights moderated by Fabrizio Diolaiuti such as thematic conferences held by distinguished guests and seminars by the expert Massimo Biagi, the presentation of new and unpublished varieties of chili peppers, but also many culinary and entertainment events open to all. On the calendar are moments of high gastronomy with free tasting of Mr Pic products, the first Italian chain made with certified chili peppers produced by Azienda Carmazzi in collaboration with the best local made-in-Italy realities, the presentation of spicy barbecue for a "Low and slow," healthy convivial and tasty cuisine, and the tasting of the Spicy Hot Dog, made with Italian traced meats and seasoned with the novelty of summer 2015, the Mr Pic Barbecue Sauce! For the first time, a Refreshment Area will be set up in the Villa Park where it will be possible to taste a rich menu suitable for all palates, both for lovers of spicy and supporters of more delicate flavors.
