The week-long Taste of Italy (also known to some as the Italian Week and which is now on its fifth year) took place on June 1-5, 2009, at the Abuja Sheraton Hotels and Towers. Lots of exciting activities were lined up by the Embassy of Italy led by the Ambassador, His Excellency Massimo Baistrocchi, and his wife, Madam Baistrocchi. A couple of classical concerts, a couple of receptions, a film showing, a painting competition and exhibition and wine-tasting made the week truly hectic but exciting. Three world-renowned musical talents, who came all the way from Italy, gave a live performance of classical music on June 3. They were Barbara Castelli (violin), Laura Pierazzuoli (cello), and Anna Paola Milea (piano). On June 1, invitees were entertained by a Nigerian Soprano Omo Bello (accompanied by Valeria Suchova at the piano). Inside Track Magazine was a part of the week-long activities.
