    Description

    Tuesday 7 October , 6:30pm

    The Italian Library #15

    The Kiss That Changed the World

    Ornella Tarantola presents Paola Jacobbi and Daniela De Rosa

    Drawing from the Spagnoli family archives, Paola Jacobbi, in conversation with Daniela De Rosa, weaves together Luisa Spagnoli’s visionary rise with her courageous personal story, set against the backdrop of major historical events—from the vibrant hopes of the early 20th century to the dark winds of fascism. This narrative captures the complexity of a woman who never feared going against the current. Thanks to her, a small chocolate shop in Perugia became one of the most important industries and, above all, an Italian brand renowned worldwide. Because the Perugina kiss is a kiss that you can never forget.
