That was the Italian kitchen party with Cornelia Poletto!

What a way to mark the beginning of an exciting new chapter at EUREF-Campus Düsseldorf: the opening of the new Cucina Cornelia Poletto last Saturday attracted numerous guests and impressed them with culinary highlights, live music and an evening full of enjoyment and new encounters. Until recently, the interior of Cucina Cornelia Poletto was located in Hamburg. Now, freshly rebuilt at EUREF-Campus, the new Cucina Cornelia Poletto in Düsseldorf opened its doors for the very first time. And it went off with an Italian bang!

At the Italian kitchen party ‘Cucina e Canzoni’, guests were treated to Italian specialities, selected wines and live cooking stations featuring Cornelia Poletto, Nelson Müller and Lucki Maurer.

Presenter Dennis Wilms, opera singer Ricardo Marinello, live music and DJ sets kept the atmosphere lively well into the evening. Mona Neubaur, Minister for Economic Affairs, Industry, Climate Protection and Energy, and Deputy Minister-President of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, also took the opportunity to mark the special occasion with a short speech. Together, they created a celebration full of enjoyment, good conversation and plenty of dolce vita!

The opening was a striking demonstration of just how much potential and vitality our second innovation hub has to offer. We are delighted to welcome Cucina Cornelia Poletto as a new culinary hub on the EUREF Campus Düsseldorf, and look forward to many enjoyable encounters, inspiring conversations and special moments in this new home for hospitality and community.
