Benji & Fede honored with chocolate sculptures in Modena

During the eighth edition of the Sciocolà Artisan Chocolate Festival in Modena, Italian pop duo Benji & Fede were honored with two life-sized chocolate sculptures. The works were created by master chocolatier Mirco Della Vecchia, who used natural cocoa from Gabon to craft the figures.

Each sculpture weighs approximately 350 kilograms and required roughly 250 hours of labor. The artist relied on photographs to replicate the duo's likenesses, including details of their faces and clothing. The statues are currently displayed in the “Louvre di Sciocolà” located in Piazza Matteotti.

Benji & Fede, who returned to their hometown of Modena, expressed enthusiasm for the tribute. The artists also discussed upcoming projects, including a new album and their participation in the television program Pechino Express in Latin America.
