Press Release 20.04.2012
The Victoria Local Council would like to announce that it has ranked first in the Local Council’s Category at the National Enterprise Support Awards with its Grand Tour of Taste 2011, Serata di Gola and Dopo teatro con gli Chef project. The Council was also nominated for the European Enterprise Promotion Awards 2012 to be held in Cyprus later on this year.
This innovative project was embarked by the Victoria Local Council together with the Arena del Sole Theatre in Bologna with the aim of exploring Gozitan culture through food, heritage and culinary delights. The discovery and promotion of this unexplored sector on the island was achieved through a journey of a group of popular Italian journalists accompanied by top Italian chefs all the way from Bologna to Gozo in prestigious cars. Through this Grand Tour of Taste that culminated on the island of Gozo and later the Serata di Gola, for which prominent people from Bologna participate, widespread publicity about the island of Gozo took place around Italy in a number of popular periodicals, newspaper, television and other media channels.
Minister Dr Jason Azzopardi presented these awards to the Mayor of Victoria Dr Samuel Azzopardi.
The Victoria Local Council would like to thank all those that have contributed for the success of this project.
