City tours
We experienced the city and its wonders renowned throughout the world among which theBurj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, the palm with the famousHotel Atlantis, theDubai Malland the wonderfulJumeirah, residential district of Dubai known for the very famousBurj al Arab.

Tour è più di una semplice visita alla città, è l'esperienza che avvicina gli imprenditori al contesto urbano e commerciale, è toccare con mano il suo mercato e confrontarsi con le grandi opportunità di questa città florida.
Abbiamo visitato Dubai e le sue meraviglie tra le quali il Burj Khalifa, l’edificio più alto del mondo, Jumeirah con i suoi meravigliosi villaggi turistici, il Dubai Mall e lo storico Souk, il paradiso degli chef mondiali, è il “mercato degli ori e delle spezie” famoso in tutto il mondo.

EXPERIENCE

THE SOUK

With our Chef Luigi Popolizio we visited the famous Souks of the old city of Dubai, looking for local ingredients with which to enrich our typical Italian recipes.
An unforgettable fusion of cultures, aromas and flavours.

Immersed in the city, in thepure experience of the heart of Dubai, we visited the famousspice marketin search of the perfect ingredients to prepare the typical dishes of the Apulian cuisine in a new guisefusionwhich captured literally everyone. An immersion in smells and bright colors like the culture of the place, a selection amongthe best local raw materialsbefore lighting the stove inside the kitchens of the most famous iconic hotel in the world.
EXPERIENCE

ITALIAN EXCELLENCE
conquering Dubai
We have created a 100% Made in Italy finger food menu with our fine products imported directly from Italy.

We believe that the best deals are those signed in an atmosphere of conviviality and openness to new cultures, experiences and mutual opportunities. For this reason we have decided to invite our Dubai entrepreneur friends and close contacts during the Fair, in a exclusive aperitif specially prepared by our Chef.
An experience full of flavours, excellent commercial contacts and virtuous relationships for important commercial projects for our entrepreneurs and the new contacts made during the Exhibit. Lots of enthusiasm also from the insiders who proposed us to replicate our fusion aperitif on a larger scale... we accepted the challenge!

Press Review - Puglia in Dubai for the Bride Show - The Gazette of the South
"The Fair was born thanks to the common interest of communication experts, agri-food producers, event organizers who gather around a virtual square: the online Marketplace.
It takes its name from the famous commercial square of Bari. The Bride Show is the most famous and prestigious fair dedicated to marriage in the Middle East. In addition to the fair, the PIAZZA MERCANTILE brand will participate in a series of events with local partners and will create show cooking with the Apulian chef Luigi Popolizio who symbolizes the Bari exchanges with the Near East. The Apulian project conceived by the "Creative Intelligence" agency brings together the excellence of the sectors involved and brings Puglia to Dubai, on the occasion of the Bride Show, which we recall is the most prestigious fair in the Middle East. Puglia is known throughout the world for its characteristic landscape and for its cuisine; the recipes of our tradition are now considered art."
