Dolceria del Corso Catering, partnered with Bookings For You, in organizing a private MasterClass on Tuscan Cuisine. We drove all of the ingredients for our six-course menu directly from Volterra to Surrey.

Expo Milano 2015

During the summer of 2015, Milan hosted the World Expo with the theme “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life.” 145 countries participated, and among the many businesses involved, Dolceria del Corso Catering was proud to be one.

With 22,200,000 visitors in attendance, we introduced guests from around the world to the unique flavors of Italian cuisine. We guided them through the process of handmaking Panforte, demonstrating the traditional methods for perfecting this ancient cake.

Notte dei Priori

We organized and planned the first annual New Year’s party in the heart of Volterra at Piazza dei Priori. Tickets quickly sold out as over 3,000 local residents joined us to ring in the New Year.

The event featured a stunning light show, the loudest sound system in town, a gazebo with a private area for our VIP guests, and a fully serviced bar. We brought the main square to life like never before. A renowned DJ played the perfect tunes, keeping our residents dancing all night long in celebration of the New Year.

La Festa della Luce 2011

In the summer of 2011, we partnered with Volterra Teatro to organize a special event: The Festival of Light. Directed by Sergio Carrubba and Paola Ciucci, Dolceria del Corso Catering & Banqueting took the lead in planning and organizing the dinner.

We served elegant Tuscan dishes for guests to enjoy beneath the stunning projections cast on the buildings of Piazza dei Priori. The event celebrated the 150th anniversary of the unification of Italy, and in honor of Italy’s birthday, Giancarlo created a spectacular cake approximately 2 meters in size on site.
