Milano, April 21 2016*** Less than 13 days at the start: the organizers of Venditalia 2016, which will take place May 4 to 7 at Fieramilanocity, is accelerating. And the details of one of the most awaited and exclusive moments of the four days of Vending, the gala La Bella Vita, begin to unravel.

The gastronomic route Under the stars conceived by starred chef Mirko Bernardini crosses the flavors and the most renowned specialties. We start in Valle d'Aosta, from Patata novella con fonduta di fontina, for trespassing in Piedmont, with Tartare di bue di Carrù, and Liguria, to savor the famous Focaccia di Recco con formaggio. From here on the ground of Milan, with a must as La milanese mini, and then in Alto Adige, for a Canederlo con speck e burro di malga. A step still to the East to discover the Friuli San Daniele con perla di melone, and in Veneto for a classic Polenta e baccalà. Then just over the South, where we meet the Emilian Tigelle con salumi, and then in Toscana for a Panzanella di farro, and Umbria for a Piccola bolla di porchetta, then to Lazio with a Cyberg di uovo alla carbonara, and going down to Salento for a Panzerotto al San Marzano. And then in Puglia for Salsiccia equina con cime di rapa, and the islands: in Sicilia for the Tartare di tonno rosso and Sardegna for a Gambero con bottarga e pecorino.

A Michelin starred chef for La Bella Vita The evening begins at 7:30 pm with cocktails Under the stars followed by a gala dinner, two exclusive gatherings immersed in the scents and flavors of Italy's culinary excellence and curated by Michelin starred chef Mirko Bernardini. Mirko Bernardini, born in 1980, has worked and trained internationally alongside high‐caliber chefs like Paul Bocuse, in Collonge, and Alain Ducasse, at the Hotel de Paris in Montecarlo. In 2000 Troisgros hired him as the chef de partie at his restaurant “La Maison” in Roanne. Two years later he returned to Italy and worked alongside numerous celebrity chefs: from Cracco‐Peck to Sadler, the “Madonnina del Pescatore" to "Da Vittorio". In 2004 a new adventure took him to Spain, to work at "El‐Bulli" run by Ferran and Albert Adrià, where he met Massimo Bottura, chef and owner of the award winning "Osteria Francescana"in Modena. In 2006 Bernardini decided that it was time to open his own restaurant. Three years later he received the highly coveted Michelin star for “Lear” in Briosco. In 2010 he became a professional sommelier as well and today manages the restaurants and is a consultant for some of the most important Italian food companies in the world, including Ferrero Spa, Granarolo France (Codipal), Barilla, Inalca, and Paren. The special show All that musical At 10:30 pm the lights will go down in the house and come up on the stage as the performers of BIT Company make their entrance. Founded in Turin in 2007, today BIT has over 400 performances to its credit, and performs worldwide. The special show dedicated to La Bella Vita is called All That Musical (directed and choreographed by Melina Pellicano, production director Chiara Marro, staging by Anna Maria Carbone, costumes by Agostino Porchietto and Lucrezia Zoroddu) and is an exhilarating kaleidoscopic spectacle of music and dance (watch the trailer). THE SHOW. A brilliant and fast paced musical revue full of catchy medleys that will have the audience reliving some of the greatest moments in musical theater history. To begin with an audition, as all productions begin, to the tune of “A Chorus Line”: the choreographer teaches the dance steps, the performers rehearse, the cast is put together, and the show begins. Then an uninhibited Can‐can takes us back in time to the beginning of the 20th century to witness the passionate love story of “Moulin Rouge”. Willkommen, and it's on to "Cabaret", remembering the success and the songs of Liza Minnelli. An evocative lighting change and suddenly it's the 1970s with the entire cast on stage to recreate “Saturday Night Fever”, closing with a taste “Grease”... After the show, dancing and La Bella Vita will continue late into the night to the rhythms of the live Dj Set.
