Hotel Principi di Piemonte
The Hotel Principi di Piemonte is a hotel in Turin, with conference facilities including the Sala Palazzo Madama, used to host food and wine events of national standing [1].
Una Mole di Panettoni
The hotel hosts «Una Mole di Panettoni», a national event dedicated to artisan panettone bringing together master bakers and pastry chefs from across Italy [1]. The fifteenth edition was held from 27 to 29 November 2026, with thirty professionals taking part and a competition split into four categories: traditional Milanese-style panettone, tall and without icing; Piedmontese-style panettone, shorter and iced; chocolate panettone; and creative panettone [1].
The jury for the 2026 edition, chaired by pastry chef Mauro Morandin, also included Beniamino Bazzoli, Federico Francesco Ferrero, Andrea Rastelli, Leo Rieser, Luca Scarcella and Sergio Scovazzo [1]. The event is organised by Dettagli Eventi, founded by Laura Severi and Matilde Sclopis di Salerano [1].
Cooking shows and the Sala Palazzo Madama
In the hotel's Sala Palazzo Madama, three cooking shows were held at 6pm on each day of the event. On Friday 27 November, food creator Anna Fantini, founder of Bananna Kitchen, presented a savoury take on panettone; on Saturday 28 November Claudia Frascini of Cookin' Factory showed a savoury reinterpretation of panettone through creative sandwiches; on Sunday 29 November Giuseppe Mazza of Pasticceria Mazza in Turin presented the «Mediterraneo Assoluto» toast, winner of first prize in the creative-panettone category at the previous edition [1].
Ten professionals from Piedmont took part in the event, ahead of Campania and Puglia in regional representation. Turin-based participants included Giuseppe Mazza of Pasticceria Mazza, Luca Dell'Agnese of Pasticceria Dell'Agnese and Paolo D'Errico of Farina & Club, alongside professionals from the Province of Turin from Collegno, Caselle Torinese, Moncalieri, Chieri and Carmagnola [1].
