CHOKOLASHOW® is much more than an event: it is a meeting of different worlds that brush against each other and then merge, as happens to the best cocoa crus when they become art.
In the setting of the Méridien Beach Plaza, the second edition transformed chocolate into an aesthetic alphabet, a poetic matter capable of telling stories, supporting charitable causes and uniting cultures under a single sensory language.
Under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco and with the support of the Italian Embassy, the event – conceived and organized by theMonaco International Hub Association and strongly supported by journalist Maria Bologna, the creative and visionary soul of the project – brought together international artists, charities and selected partners in a refined and surprising experience.
The Sovereign visited the exhibition dedicated to the eight works engraved on chocolate plaques, all inspired by the nautical theme, personally complimenting the artists on the originality and quality of the creations. His presence confirmed the high cultural and solidarity value of CHOKOLASHOW®, now considered a significant event in the Monegasque scene.
The charity auction, conducted by Wannenes Auction House, allowed the entire proceeds to be donated to the associations supported by the project, testifying to how art can become a concrete gesture of altruism. This vision was complemented by a menu dedicated to the nuances of cocoa, signed by chef Laurent Colin, who paid tribute to the raw material through intense and refined flavors.
A project that grows, unites and looks ahead
CHOKOLASHOW® is not just an event, but a journey that edition after edition continues to grow and weave bonds between artists, patrons, institutions and the public.
Here chocolate loses its ordinary function and becomes art, becomes storytelling, becomes solidarity.
It is a substance that warms, excites, speaks. A universal language that, in this event, becomes a bridge between cultures and a tribute to beauty and the heart.
Now in its second year, CHOKOLASHOW® is already preparing for its third edition, strengthened by the unwavering support of Prince Albert II and the vision of Mary Bologna, who continues to transform a refined idea into a cultural event capable of leaving a mark.
