After the beyond any expectations' success of Nottezero events (Nottezero - Segmento 3rd anniversary and Nottezero Cocktail), we have developed a new project: a series of events of Italian contemporary culture and lifestyle with the aim to divulge those aspects and segments of Italian recent and past accomplishments that have remained unexplored and or overlooked in Australia.
A series of four events; at each event, a different, exclusive Italian restaurant and its chef will design and cook a menu inspired to the entertainment and a somellier will select the perfectly matching wine to enhance the food and your spirit.
The entertainment will vary each time, dedicated respectively to theatre, cinema, art or music.
The first event will take place on Thursday the 23rd of August at The Mandalay Reception in Northcote titled "LA COMMEDIA DEI GOLOSI", featuring La Commedia Dell'Arte and the traditional cuisine of the Veneto region.
The concept of "LA COMMEDIA DEI GOLOSI" will be a sit down dinner hosted by the talented and young Italian chef Michele Circhirillo from 48H Restaurants in South Yarra and Elsternwick and his business partner sommelier Fabio Biscaldi.
The guests will be entertained during the event by stage actor Fabio Motta who will perform with masks from La Commedia dell'Arte (Arlecchino, Pantalone, Zanni) and extracts form the works of the Nobel Prize Dario Fo.
