RIVOLTINI GOODNESS AWARD
Since 2019, the GOODNESS AWARD, a recognition established for those who have distinguished themselves through acts of generosity away from the spotlight, for having dedicated their time and lives to helping others, has become one of the most heartfelt events in the Cremona Nougat Festival program. This year, Rivoltini Alimentare Dolciaria intends to honor Filippo Ruvioli, father of Orlando and president of the Occhi Azzurri ONLUS, who conceived and led the creation of the CR² Sinapsi Center in Cremona: a cutting-edge rehabilitative and recreational hub for children with rare genetic diseases and their families. Driven by his personal experience and the dream shared with his wife Silvia, who passed away in 2019, Ruvioli transformed a life project into a concrete facility that combines diagnostic services, therapies, multisensory spaces, and a therapeutic pool based on a model of systemic inclusion. A tasting of Rivoltini nougat candies will follow.

Present at the event will be one of the champions of the TWC who will create an innovative version live: the finger tiramisu, a sample to be enjoyed with your hands, designed to reduce plastic use and promote sustainability. To conclude, an exclusive reimagining of the classic: Rivoltini nougat tiramisu, carefully chosen and studied to enhance the character of the festival’s symbolic product.

RIVOLTINI TASTING
THE CASTLE OF SANTACROCE
Rivoltini Alimentare Dolciaria together with Bottega del Gusto Cremona are the creators of the Santa Croce Nougat, which pays homage to the ancient castle of Cremona, whose ruins of its last “Torrione” (Great Tower) still lie in Via Ghinaglia. Many aspects make this product unique, starting with its ingredients, among which Amorpha Fruticosa honey stands out—known for its relaxing and antioxidant properties—and the total absence of sugar, through to its meticulous packaging which also contains an elegant booklet telling the story of the famous castle that, from October 25, 1441, was inhabited by the newlyweds Bianca Maria Visconti and Francesco Sforza.
For the occasion, the tasting will be accompanied by one of the memorable spirits created specifically by Prof. Dionisi Zoppi, a skilled guardian of the most ancient distilling arts.

SHAKEN NOUGAT, ROBERTO FROM BAR 41
THE ART OF EXCLUSIVE DRINKING
At the Nougat Festival, the stage lights up with the presence of Roberto, the famous Cremonese bartender from Bar 41, undisputed master of the art of mixology.
In a unique event, Roberto will lead the audience on an extraordinary sensory journey, presenting his most refined creation: Rivoltini nougat bitter, a tribute to the taste and tradition of his city, capable of being transformed into a variety of cocktails with intense, surprising, and explosive flavors.
It will not just be a show, but an experience to be lived with all the senses: the enveloping scents, the vibrant colors of the drinks, the elegance of the gestures, and the magic of a sip that tastes of innovation and passion.
An unmissable event for those who love exclusive cocktails, mixed with art, heart, and creativity, which will remain impressed in the memory as well as on the palate.
