Special guest from Italy
Viviana Varese
Alice Ristorante (Milan), Head Chief
In 1999 she opened her own "Il Girasole" in Rodigiano. In 2007, she met Sandra Ciciriello and they opened “Alice Ristorante” in Milan. After being awarded 1 Michelin Star in 2011, she became Ambassador Chef at Expo Milano in 2015.

Special guest from Japan
Masahiro Kasahara
Sanpi-Ryoron (Tokyo), owner
Born in Tokyo in 1972, he grew up looking at his parents who run a yakitori restaurant. After graduating from high school, he trained at “Shougatu-ya Kitcho” for nine years before taking over his family's yakitori restaurant. On the 30th anniversary the restaurant has been temporary closed and in 2004 Kasahara opened his own "Sanpi-Ryoron" in Ebisu. The name of the restaurant is based on the idea that "you don't have to be liked by everyone. It is ok if only the ones who like your food and method comes to visit [...]". It quickly became a very popular restaurant, even hard to make a reservation.

Italia, amore mio! INSIEMEFrom: 21/11/2020 10:00 AMto: 22/11/2020 8:00 PMVenue: SIDE OMOTESANDO (TBC)
Format
For the past 4 years Italia, amore mio! has showcased the best of Italy to over 500.000 Japanese visitors with over 250 live performances, 300 exhibits, and installations, 150 food stations, cooking-shows, competitions… becoming the largest Italian festival in Japan.
This year we will do all of the above and more in a different format: a central hub in Tokyo will coordinate multiple satellite events scattered all over the city hosted in Italian landmark venues. At the same time, a virtual interactive chat will connect Japan with Italian cities.
Theme 2020 – Insieme
Uncertainty has prevailed in many aspects of our daily life forcing us to stand afar from each other and respect a social physical distance. But emotionally this experience has worked the other way around, giving us the chance to re-evaluate the importance of “the other” and the meaning of togetherness. Together we can make it - and it’s way more fun.
