After TUTTOFOOD’s acquisition by Fiere di Parma, what can we expect from the show?
The 2025 edition promises to be the biggest and most complete ever, featuring new product categories and special sections.

This year, the show expands to 10 halls, compared to 7 in 2023, offering a more dynamic and accessible design while opening up significant opportunities for food professionals. A key innovation is the International Pavilion, developed in partnership with Koelnmesse Italia (Anuga Cologne). This space will showcase curated regional and national specialties from around the globe, underlining our mission to promote quality food and nutrition models on an global scale.
