A story by Lucia Margherita Marino taken from the book La grammatica del cioccolato e del cacao [Gribaudo] by Clara and Gigi Padovani.
Riccardo Conti – percussion
The history of chocolate begins with Quetzalcóatl, an Aztec deity worshipped in Mexico from the 13th to the 16th century, who, according to legend, gave mankind the cacao tree.
For all of us, chocolate provides a magical answer to life's questions in the form of cubes, flakes and chips.
This show, accompanied by a delicious tasting, is based on the latest book by food writers Clara and Gigi Padovani, who use this myth as a starting point to recount the seductive power of chocolate over the centuries: from the courts of Europe to Nutella ©, which celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2024.
