The presence of the Regional Wine Shop of Lombardy also strengthened the connection between the event and the broader system promoting Lombardy's excellent winemaking.
"This initiative, coordinated by the Oltrepò Pavese Wine and Flavors Route, was born from the involvement of several local producers and aims to showcase the excellence of our region thanks to the presence of the Lombardy Regional Wine Shop," the mayor added.
The atmosphere throughout the day was also very satisfying, with the city center packed and so many people participating in the events. "It was a unique experience to see the heart of our city so packed with people," Riviezzi emphasized.
At the end of the event, the mayor thanked everyone who contributed to its success, from the organizers to the producers, from the organizations involved to the volunteers. "A heartfelt thank you to everyone who, in various capacities, worked to make the festival a success, and especially thank you, Broni!"
