The party returns to vicoEquense
It is the longest-running food and wine event in the Sorrento Peninsula: Festa a Vico, conceived by chef Gennaro Esposito.
Today, one month after the Kermesse the two Michelin stars of the Torre del Saracino di Seiano launches the mood of 2019. "We will amaze you with the goodness". And we imagine that it is in all the exceptions of the term. Because we are saturated with malice and anger. And here are the components of this XVII edition: "That idea has now become a ritual and so from 2 to 4 June Vico Equense will again become the" promised land "explains Gennaro Esposito in a note" always different in its performance, always the same in spirit , this is my Festa a Vico.
An event in which they are all protagonists: the participating chefs, the non-profit organizations to whom the proceeds are donated, Gennaro knows he knows no respite and always putting himself back into the game is his motto. Such as? To rediscover the value of food, to awaken the senses, to discover what's new that can transform our way of cooking, serving, thinking. But will there also be Substance? Of course yes, and this explains how "For the second year, particular attention will be paid to" soSTAnza ", a distillate of the excellent products of the Italian territory, which will be brought to Vico by selected artisans of taste." SoSTAnza "puts at the center the earth, the rare and unknown specialties of Italian regional cuisine that represent the authenticity and uniqueness of our territory.
The Piazza degli Artigiani will open its doors on Monday 3 June and will see chefs and producers as protagonists, creating an immediate link between two categories that cannot do without each other. Write down the dates! We will start on June 2 with the popular Repubblica del Cibo, which will attract thousands of fans, tourists and onlookers to the streets of Vico Equense on the trail of the chefs called to cook in the squares, in the streets, in the shops of the center of Vico.
At the Stars Dinner on Monday 3, starred chefs from the most important national and international scene will participate. Their creations will give life, once again, to an unmissable and unique event of its kind, which in practice marks the beginning of summer on the Amalfi Coast. The Cammino di Seiano, instead, on the final evening of June 4th, will surprise you with its novelties and surprise guests in the splendid location of the Marina which on that occasion becomes a real "promenade" of taste. The goal of the Festa a Vico fundraising is to donate a lot. A total of over one million euros was raised last year. Intended for the non-profit partner of the event, also for the seventeenth edition the proceeds will be entirely donated to the projects presented by the non-profit organizations that have been selected to participate in the event and that will handle the sale of the coupons for the various appointments.

SOLIDARITY

THE PREVIOUS EDITIONS
Festa a Vico 2019 is the seventeenth edition of the event that chef Gennarino Esposito designed in 2003 to bring together emerging and established chefs in the splendid location of Vico Equense. Over the years the event has evolved, almost transformed, becoming a regular event for food lovers and more. For three days the forerunner of the Sorrento coast becomes an "open-air kitchen" because the party involves everything and everyone (as many as 100 shops but also doors and gardens that are opened for the occasion). Vico is literally invaded by fans of the genre and simple tourists. In front of craft shops, shops, newsstands or pharmacies, an incredible crowd of onlookers gather to taste the dishes freshly prepared by Gennarino's guest chefs, which in turn now compete to take part in this three-day event that ranges from the popular "Repubblica del cibo" to the glamorous appointment of the "Cena delle Stelle". From Vico, countless chefs have passed, some of the most important on the national and international scene.
