The open ceremony of the slow food was held in a large indoor arena and was a bit like to opening of the Olympic Games but smaller with about 3000 people. They came from 180 countries and the flag presentation ceremony in itself took about 45 mins. But the colour and the national costumes were just spectacular, sorry it was bit dark to get any good iPad pictures.
Granted 1/2 of it was in Italian so some of the Italian speeches were a bit on the difficult side but all the young people and the African countries spoke English.
The video presentations were on the big overhead screens and they were the goose bump moments. The music the sort that is needed to get your attention and the live music some African and the other Italian traditional it was just so engaging it was a truly great night.
He's a couple of picks from the exhibition hall today.
