Passion is the minimum requirement, says a song by Berri Txarrak, and that is what Passione Italia is carrying for another year: the market that celebrates the country’s traditional gastronomy and music in a new edition that is already number fourteen. This year it will take place from 5pm this Friday until Sunday and, for the first time, the ticket will be free for everyone.
The market, organized by the Italian Chamber of Commerce for Spain with the sponsorship of the Italian Embassy, will be set up, as usual, in the courtyard of the Scuola Italiana de Madrid (Calle de Agustín de Betancourt, 1).
As for the schedule of Passione Italia 2024 is as follows:
- Friday, May 31: from 5:00 pm to 11:30 pm
- Saturday, June 1st: 11am to 11:30pm
- Sunday, June 2: 11am to 4pm
