Here are some of the highlights:
Enjoy a Sicilian vegan feast with chef Giorgio Locatelli
Celebrated chef Giorgio Locatelli will be on hand at his restaurant Ronda Locatelli with a three-course vegan menu made up of ingredients sourced directly from his Sicilian farm.

For two nights only, Michelin star chef Giorgio Locatelli (who is also a judge on MasterChef Italia) will team up with the winner of this year's show, Valeria Raciti, to host a five-course 'Four Hands Dinner' set menu. The all-Italian menu will include dishes such as deep fried calzone with anchovies, pot roasted octopus, beef tartare with egg and white truffle and the sinfully rich traditional chocolate and amaretti pudding, bonet piemontese. Guests will also have the opportunity to receive signed autographs from the celebrity chefs themselves.
