Chocolate for Charity

Eight artists, eight visions, eight languages—converge for CHOKOLASHOW® 2025 in Monaco

Under the High Patronage of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, and with the support of the Italian Embassy in the Principality of Monaco, preparations are officially underway for the second edition of CHOKOLASHOW®—the artistic and charitable event that transforms chocolate into a work of art and an act of generosity. This year's theme “The Nautical World”, is in honor of the prestigious Monaco Yacht Show a symbol of elegance and global connection by sea.

Patrizia is among the eight selected artists who have transformed large chocolate bars into unique creations. The artworks are on display through October 10 at the Wannenes auction house in Monaco where visitors can vote for their favorite creation.

You're Going to Need a Bigger Boat

Patrizia's random pick was "yacht." Her creation for the benefit, multilayered dark and white chocolate with gold, silver and champagne accents. An understated statement that makes a big statement. An ultimate status symbol, the "super-yacht powers forth exuding elegance, prestige and luxury; spirits, champagne and chocolates; privacy and exclusivity; one-upmanship and wealth.
