On September 7, the Italian Chef Charity Night event at Forte Belvedere’s spectacular terrace returns. The fifth edition of the event brings together the signature dishes by 14 top Tuscan chefs, with funds raised going towards saving the Ca’ Moro restaurant in Livorno that’s worked in by young people with disabilities, and the Montedomini project by the non-profit organization ‘Il cuore di Firenze’, dedicated to the construction of homes for the elderly in need.
