We are delighted to invite you to an extraordinary evening dedicated to the excellence of Italian gastronomy, culture, artistry, and elegance.
The ITCCK Gala Night 2026, in collaboration with the Embassy of Italy in Korea, with Bulgari Korea as Title Sponsor and Chosun Ilbo as Media Partner, will take place on Friday, November 20, 2026, at the prestigious JW Marriott Hotel Seoul.
Highlights of the Evening
The evening will open with welcoming remarks from H.E. Emilia Gatto, Ambassador of Italy to Korea, Mr. Andrea Verazzi, President of the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Korea, and Bulgari Korea. Together with distinguished guests from the Italian and Korean business, institutional, and diplomatic communities, they will celebrate the enduring ties between Italy and Korea and the 11th Edition of the World Week of Italian Cuisine.
Guests will begin with a refined Cocktail Reception, featuring Italian-inspired drinks and delicacies, before enjoying an exceptional dinner curated by two-Michelin-starred chef Daniele Lippi, Executive Chef of Acquolina restaurant in Rome. Chef Lippi will create a special menu exclusively for the occasion, bringing his contemporary interpretation of Italian cuisine to Seoul.
The evening will then unfold with Turandot delle Stelle, a contemporary artistic interpretation of Puccini's timeless masterpiece, combining live music, video mapping, and hand-drawn illustrations to create a unique, immersive experience.
An exciting and meaningful Lucky Draw will follow, with proceeds supporting Anna's House, a charitable organization dedicated to helping the homeless and underprivileged in Korea.
The night will finally conclude with an After Party, where guests can unwind and keep the celebration going.
And there is more to come: further special moments and surprises will be unveiled in the coming weeks.
