La Dolce Vita brings the cuisine and culture of Italy to the UK with tips on how to recreate the Italian lifestyle right here in London. In a new venue for 2010, Islington's Business Design Centre will be filled with the smells of olive oil, garlic and slow-roasted tomatoes as celebrity chefs including Theo Randall and Giovanni Rana cook up some tasty dishes. Highlights include an Italian garden, a giant interactive map where you can 'build your Italy', full bodied wines, and an exhibition of winning images from a photography competition. There are sections on buying property - Tuscany is catching up with Spain and France in the volume of British people buying holiday homes there - holidays, fashion, design, and, of course, wine. There are few people who know more about how to lead the good life than the Italians, and this show should be full of ideas to bring a bit of La Dolce Vita into your life.About Business Design Centre
