Seven centuries ago, the renowned Italian explorer Marco Polo set out on a voyage to China, driven by his curiosity to explore and understand foreign cultures and traditions. As one of the most distinguished merchants of his time, Marco Polo became a key cultural bridge between Italy and China, fostering an exchange of art, literature, technology, and cuisine that endures to this day.

To celebrate this long-standing cultural dialogue, The Peninsula Hong Kong proudly announces a special festival in collaboration with Mercato Gourmet, Hong Kong’s premier Italian culinary retail brand. This event, running from June 14 to July 31, 2024, at The Peninsula, coincides with the 10th anniversary of Mercato Gourmet, founded by the visionary chef Giandomenico “Gianni” Caprioli.
