Know More about this tour

Meet up with your guide for the day outside the tall windows of Pietro Romanengo fu Stefano. Head inside and gaze at shelves packed with glass jars full of jewel-like candies. Admire rows of chocolates in brightly lit cases, and savor the smell of freshly preserved fruits, waiting to be wrapped up in dark blue tissue paper.

Follow staff upstairs to get a behind-the-scenes look at how these colorful confections have been created since 1780, and then get the chance to try a few for yourself. Savor mouthwatering fondant, explore the flavors of their shimmering rosolio drops, and find out what's inside the coated shell of delicious drages.

Before you leave, chat with a member of the Romanengo family to learn more about this iconic sweet shop's long history and consider a few of their recommendations when you step up to the counter to order your own sugar souvenirs.
