The other day we experienced an authentic Italian evening, with the music, food, wine and ambiance of a really Italian party. Except for the fact that it wasn’t in Italy at all, but at Villa Erlengut in Erlenbach in Switzerland.

The Italian wine was flowing, the tables were laden Italian delicacies and the sound of Italian music resonated throughout the villa.

Entitled “Italian Allegria”, these Italian parties are the brainchild of Cristina Rocco, designed to enable you to taste and experience the charm of Italy as a private or corporate event.

Villa Erlengut was bursting with an Italian party atmosphere with the fabulous musicians, opera singers and there was even a chef giving live mozzarella demonstrations. The only thing which was not very Italian was the weather, as it was pouring with Swiss Spring rain! However, even that failed to dampen the spirits of all who were enjoying this wonderful evening.

Cristina Rocco is based in Zug in Switzerland. Italian by birth, but international in outlook, she has an in-depth knowledge of Italy. She can organise your “Italian Allegria” party at an iconic Italian location or can find the perfect hidden gem away from the usual touristy places in perfect Italian style with food and music to match.

Cristina’s latest event offering, #Leonardo500, draws inspiration from the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci. Italian Allegria has access to some amazing iconic locations associated with the genius which are not usually open to the general public. In Milan you can get to see the Atlantic Codex up close and personal, or the Last Supper in private, or enjoy an exclusive tour of a science museum dedicated to Leonardo. The goal of Italian Allegria is to open the doors of fantastic Italian places and experiences to an international audience, whilst highlighting the best of Italy.
