  the energy of the Food of the Gods between solidarity and choco trips in 
 the cocoa lands\, maxi sculptures\, workshops\, cooking shows\, experienti

 s extremely popular formula E=mc²\, playfully reinterpreted in Eurochoco
 late = a lot of chocolate\, will accompany the next Indoor edition of th
 e International Chocolate Festival\, scheduled from 13 to 22 October next
 .\n\nIf\, as Einstein taught us\, a very small amount of matter contains a
 n enormous amount of energy\, this is particularly true for chocolate whic
 h has been one of the most loved sources of it for centuries.\n\nAnd it is
  precisely on the fascinating and still little-known raw material from whi
 ch chocolate originates\, cocoa\, which\, between the active presence of
  international producers and solidarity projects\, one of the focuses of 
 the next edition will be concentrated.\n\nPresales for the online purcha
 se of tickets are active from today on the official website of the Festiva
