In Bologna (Italy) is the Tortellini day

This event is a continuation of last year’s "Sfoglino d’Oro" where professional "sfoglini", winners of various national and international contests, had been competing over the course of the year.

The public watched the contest-show, a chance to promote and valorize the best of the cui-sine of Bologna: the sfoglia (a kind of rolled egg-based pastry) and the "sfoglini" (the professionals who roll the sfoglia). The event was hosted by a famous national television personality while the jury included institutional representatives and it was presided by Alessandra Spisni, multi-winner of  the "Mattarello d’oro" and "Tortellino d'oro" awards and the "Maestra di Sfoglia" title on the Ital-ian RaiUno TV show “La prova del Cuoco”.

This year: the tortellino, unfailing protagonist of the Bolognese cuisine, will be welcoming every-one who is curious to discover the city in its multiple facets. Among artistic itineraries and special menus, through the "Sfoglino d'Oro", a day dedicated to fun and good food.
