Coffee-related cultural and promotional events are being held across Italy. In Bari, during the 89th International Campionaria Fiera del Levante, Nims S.p.A. (part of the Lavazza Group) is hosting an experiential showcase for Lavazza Tablì. The event includes sensory tastings led by a professional trainer to educate visitors on coffee raw materials, such as Arabica and Robusta beans.

In Milan, the Nespresso flagship store in Piazza Cordusio hosted a “Hot Takes” event organized by Vanity Fair to mark its first anniversary. The session featured influencers Giulia Valentina and Lorenzo Bises, who used coffee as a catalyst for social dialogue and discussions regarding the personal and social rituals of coffee consumption.
