La Dolce Italia – giveaway!
Disclaimer: La Dolce Italia are giving me some free tickets to attend the festival.




I must admit, I was a little surprised when I got an email from La Dolce Italia festival. I mean I love Italian food, and I studied Italian for about 8 years throughout primary and secondary school – Dario e sempre in ritardo – but I wouldn’t have thought my blog was particularly Italiano. Maybe it’s because my ex is Italian, or my old housemate comes from Tuscany, or because I ride a Vespa. They certainly do their homework!
In any case, I’m pretty happy that they found me, because upon looking at program, I’m pretty excited about it. It’s billed as the ‘first and only authentic Italian lifestyle event’ in Australia. I don’t know what that means exactly, but I’m guessing it’s more about the food, fashion and fabulousness than a skyrocketing unemployment rate and floundering national economy.
At La Dolce Italia, there’s going to be a bunch of masterclasses about truffles, pastry, wine and well, more wine; there will also be an Italian fashion show or two, and for those of you bringing your mothers, there’s a decoupage exhibit. Oh, and even better, they’ve got a ‘bambini world’, so the kids can be sequestered in an orderly fashion (though organisers have asked me to add that their parents will still have to supervise them – it’s not a boozing creche) while adults eat, drink, and generally sample la vita bella.
 
The Festival will be on at the Royal Exhibition Centre – one of my favourite venue spaces in Melbourne – on the weekend of August 10 – 12. In previous years, the festival has happened across various separate venues around Melbourne, but the organisers have pulled it all together to make things more convenient for punters. Che buono!
So anyway, you know you want to go, if only to sample the pizza and ogle the pretty Italian girls and guys. Let’s get to the giveaway bit.
In order to win yourself a double pass to La Dolce Italia, you’ll need to:
1. Like the Half-Eaten facebook page (if you haven’t already).
2. Tell me why you want to win the tickets, in a comment below, or on the facebook timeline.
There are 10 double passes up for grabs! Entries close at 5pm, Friday 3 August.
Oh, and if you don’t win, you can buy tickets and go in the draw to win a trip to Italy.
Apri la finestra e scappiamo a citta!

A unique celebration of everything Italian is arriving in Melbourne at the city’s historic Royal Exhibition Building from 10 – 12 August. La Dolce Italia will showcase the finest Italian food, wine, fashion, sports, tourism, arts and crafts.

La Dolce Italia will become Australia’s premier celebration of the Italian lifestyle. An estimated 25,000 people are expected to pass through the doors to sample Italian products, witness stunning fashion shows, participate in competitions or attend one of the many masterclasses on offer.

La Dolce Italia is a great family event, a big crowd pleaser where children are most welcome. Bring your kids and leave them to participate and have fun in our Bambini World play area with activities on offer including face painting, mosaics, Italian story-telling, dancing and puppet making. These activities will provide positive social interaction among your children and encourage them to stretch their artistic imaginations!
