“Thirty years ago, we accepted an amazing challenge to create the Italy pavilion within the Fancy Food Shows, and for 2025, we are very proud to contribute to making Italy, for the third time, Country Partner of the Fancy Food Shows,” said Donato Cinelli, president of Universal Marketing, the exclusive agent for Italy of the SFA. “Step by step, we’ve seen the growth of Italian business owners, districts and consortiums, which over time have understood the importance of telling their product’s story; today more than ever, consumers in the United States are fascinated by stories of made in Italy.”

The Specialty Food Association (SFA) has announced a year-long partnership with Italy for 2025 that will make the European country the partner country for both the 49th Winter Fancy Food Show, taking place Jan. 19-21, 2025, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and the 69th Summer Fancy Food Show, taking place June 29- July 1, 2025, at New York’s Javits Center. Owned and operated by the SFA, the bi-annual Fancy Food Shows are known for showcasing the “newest and best” in specialty food and beverage from all corners of the world. Italy has been an “integral part of the events’ success for more than three decades,” according to a release from the SFA.
