FICO is set in Bologna, and to put it simply: it is a very large mall dedicated only to food. To be more precise: FICO is the largest agri-food park in the world.
What can you learn by visiting this type of place?
You can discover many different kinds of things – for example, you can learn about Italian agriculture by visiting the 2 hectares of open-air fields and stables housing more than 200 animals and 2000 cultivars. You can also visit the 40 farming factories to watch how different types of food (cheese, oil, beer…) are processed. After walking around and visiting the food park, it is normal to feel hungry – but no worries: there are over 40 restaurants where you can fill up on delicious food.
There is always space for learning new things: you can explore the 6 different types of educational “rides” (Fire, Earth, Sea, Animals, Bottled Goods, and the Future) or attend some of the events and classes that FICO has to offer.
Are you getting tired of all the walking? We have a solution for that, too. You can take a bike – for free – so you can see the park from another perspective… and let your legs rest a bit. To sum up, if you go to FICO, you will be able to experience, learn about, and discover the true Italian cuisine. Visit the FICO official website
