It's time to keep our beaches beautiful with this striking, classy, colorful tropical floral print that exudes true craftsmanship at every angle.
Few prints across all of fashion achieve such high style, and from a la plage to la piscine to your yacht, this combination of vivid indigo, ravishing orange, pleasing pink, and of course, Peachy's favorite color, GREEN, is outstandingly framed against a white background. On the triangle bra, underwire is both strategically and comfortably placed, making it a pleasure to wear for a longer period of time.
The gold metal connections and closures stamped Lise Charmel stylishly in small print make this a premium piece with wide appeal. The Lise Charmel name is tiny and hidden inventively in the print, further attesting to the classiness of the look. Lesser brands have to loudly broadcast their logo and in sharp contrast, Lise Charmel achieves beauty that concentrates on you, the person that is wearing the suit.
Also, you should know the bra has adjustable straps, bien sur mes amies.
The bottom has full coverage which we prefer, and the side straps allow you to choose how high you want them to tie.

The National Hockey League (NHL), USA Hockey, and the United States Hockey League (USHL) today announced an expanded collaboration supporting the continued advancement of the Tier I junior hockey development pathway in the United States.



This partnership reflects a shared commitment to strengthening the environment in which elite hockey players train, compete, and prepare for advancement to NCAA Division I hockey and potentially to the National Hockey League. While the primary focus of this initiative is the continued development of American players within the United States pathway, the USHL will also continue to welcome international players who have consistently contributed to the League’s competitive environment and the overall player experience.



Through this agreement and the organizations’ shared Declaration of Excellence, which was formally announced in April 2025, the NHL, USA Hockey, and the USHL will continue working together to enhance player development standards, strengthen player support systems, and expand access to Tier I opportunities for elite players across the United States.



This collaboration will support several initiatives within the USHL designed to strengthen its development model, including investments in player health and safety programming, coaching education resources, tools for improved analytics, enhanced player experience initiatives, and officiating recruitment and development systems, all of which will help enhance and promote the level of competition across all USHL member clubs.



The agreement also includes support for a league-managed High-Performance initiative that establishes a unified off-ice player development framework across all USHL clubs. The program provides structured off-season training support, enhanced in-season performance maintenance resources, nutrition support, evidence-based supplementation guidance, and league-level player performance tools designed to improve player readiness and consistency across the League.



The partnership also reinforces the parties’ continued collaboration with respect to national team player identification events, including the USHL Fall Classic and the USA Hockey All-American Game. The agreement also reflects the USHL’s ongoing alignment with NHL Central Scouting.



Importantly, the agreement also supports the expansion of Tier I junior hockey opportunities in the United States. The NHL and USA Hockey recognize the importance of responsibly growing access to Tier I junior hockey in this country, so that more elite team players have the opportunity to train and compete in a structured environment aligned with national development priorities.



These initiatives also seek to align with the framework provided in the USHL’s Standard Player Development Agreement (the "SDPA"). The SDPA establishes consistent league-wide player support standards, including accredited education access, off-season training assistance, international player medical coverage support, and career-ending injury insurance reimbursement.



The parties' current plans build on the principles earlier outlined in the USHL Declaration of Excellence, which ensures that players benefit from a development environment that includes billet housing, academic advising, mental wellness resources, medical support services, elite coaching, and a competition schedule designed to maximize training and recovery.



"The NHL is committed to doing its part to support and enhance player development at all levels of hockey, not only in North America, but across the globe," NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said. "The cooperation agreement we are announcing today is reflective both of that commitment, and also the NHL's and USA Hockey's continued support of the USHL and the critical role it plays in enhancing and maximizing the Tier 1 junior hockey experience in the United States. The NHL is proud to partner with both organizations in providing more options to more players and in growing the game."



“This agreement reflects a strong and aligned commitment between the NHL, USA Hockey, and the USHL to continue strengthening the Tier I player development pathway in the United States,” said Glenn Hefferan, USHL President and Commissioner. “Our primary responsibility is to provide elite American players with the environment, structure, and resources necessary to reach their full potential, while continuing to welcome outstanding international players who contribute to the competitive level and daily development experience within our League.



“Just as importantly, this partnership supports the continued expansion of Tier I opportunities across the country, so more players have access to the USHL pathway. We appreciate the NHL’s investment, and USA Hockey’s continued leadership, as we work together to advance player development standards and support the next generation of players moving toward college hockey and the National Hockey League.”



“The USHL has a proven track record of development, and this expanded collaboration reflects our shared commitment to further elevating the standard of player development in the United States,” added Pat Kelleher, executive director of USA Hockey. “Our focus is on ensuring that players have access to a consistent, high-quality environment that supports their growth both on and off the ice, while aligning with our national development priorities. We’re appreciative of the NHL’s support and grateful to the USHL and its team owners for their continued commitment to advancing Tier I player development in the United States.”

#NHLPeachy @NHL NHL Morning Skate: Stanley Cup Playoffs Edition – May 11, 2026


* Cole Caufield collected one of the Canadiens’ six goals during their Game 3 win in front of a roaring crowd at Bell Centre, which hosted a Round 2 contest with a capacity crowd for the first time since Game 5 of the 2015 Second Round. He became the fifth different player in NHL history with 30 go-ahead goals in a campaign (regular season & playoffs) after Brett Hull (42 in 1990-91), Leon Draisaitl (32 in 2024-25), Wayne Gretzky (32 in 1984-85) and Joe Sakic (30 in 2000-01 & 1995-96).

* Beckett Sennecke joined rare company by extending his goal streak to three games and Cutter Gauthier got three assists as the Ducks defeated the Golden Knights to tie their Second Round matchup at 2-2. The NHL announced that Game 6 of the series will take place on May 14 (9:30 p.m. ET) after the Sabres host the Canadiens in Game 5 (7 p.m. ET).

* Kirill Kaprizov can help Minnesota become the latest team to tie a series against the Presidents’ Trophy winners after dropping each of the first two contests when the Wild host the Avalanche in Game 4 tonight.


* Marcus and Nick Foligno are back in action after announcing that the Foligno Face-Off raised more than $200,000. They can become the first brothers to win a Stanley Cup together since Rob and Scott Niedermayer with the 2007 Ducks.


Canadiens rally past Sabres in front of roaring crowd at Bell Centre
Cole Caufield (1-1—2) as well as Alex Newhook (2-0—2), Juraj Slafkovský and Zachary Bolduc accounted for the Canadiens’ four consecutive goals after Tage Thompson (1-1—2) opened the scoring 53 seconds into the first period as Montreal took a 2-1 series lead in front of another electric crowd both inside and outside Bell Centre. Caufield snapped a five-game scoring drought with his historic 30th go-ahead goal of the season, triggering one of the several "Olé, Olé, Olé" chants from the 20,962 fans in attendance.


* Slafkovský became Montreal’s first player in nearly 70 years to have each of his first four tallies in a postseason stand as power-play goals and second since 1934 (when goals by type were officially tracked) after Dickie Moore (4 in 1958). The only players on record with a longer streak are Brian Propp (8 in 1991), Dino Ciccarelli (6 in 1996), Dmitri Mironov (6 in 1994), Andy Bathgate (6 in 1966), Nazem Kadri (5 in 2020), Logan Couture (5 in 2013), Mike Modano (5 in 2008), Doug Weight (5 in 2003) and Mike Rathje (5 in 1995).

* Newhook was credited with an awarded goal late in the third period and became the first Canadiens player with two straight multi-goal performances in the playoffs since Mark Recchi (2 GP from Game 4-5 of 1997 CQF). Newhook, whose mom, Paula, was in attendance on Mother’s Day, can tie the longest streak in franchise history set by Yvon Lambert (3 GP from Game 1-3 of 1980 PRLM) when the Canadiens and Sabres renew acquaintances at Bell Centre tomorrow.

* More highlights included Lane Hutson logging two assists to reach 12 through his first 15 career postseason contests; Jakub Dobes delivering 26 saves for his second straight win; Kirk Muller carrying the pre-game torch into the venue; as well as an appearance by 7’9” UC Irvine Anteaters center Olivier Rioux, who hails from the Montreal suburb of Terrebonne. Muller scored the championship-clinching goal for the 1993 Canadiens, who remain the last Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup.



GAUTHIER, SENNECKE HAVE MULTI-POINT GAMES AS DUCKS PULL EVEN
Cutter Gauthier (0-3—3) factored on three of four Anaheim goals while Beckett Sennecke (1-1—2) recorded his first career multi-point game in the postseason as the Ducks knotted their Second Round series against the Golden Knights at two games apiece. Anaheim improved to 4-0 all-time at home in Game 4 when facing a 2-1 series deficit, while the club won its sixth straight contest in that scenario (home or road) dating to the 2011 Conference Quarterfinals.


* Gauthier became the youngest player in franchise history to post multiple three-point games in the playoffs (also 1-2—3 in Game 2 of 2026 R1). Gauthier joined Troy Terry, Leo Carlsson and Jackson LaCombe as the Ducks’ fourth player with 10-plus points this postseason – the highest total among all teams in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

* Sennecke joined Bobby Ryan (3 GP in 2009) as the second Ducks rookie to score in three straight playoff games. Additionally, he became the fourth Ducks skater to record a multi-point game in the playoffs before age 21, following Emerson Etem (Game 6 of 2013 CQF), Cam Fowler (Game 2 & 4 of 2011 CQF) and Stanislav Chistov (Game 3 of 2003 CQF).



QUICK CLICKS





Kaprizov, WILD CAN PULL EVEN AGAINST PRESIDENTS’ TROPHY WINNERS MONDAY

Kirill Kaprizov and the Wild look to tie their Second Round matchup against Nathan MacKinnon and the Avalanche tonight before the series shifts back to Ball Arena for Game 5 on Wednesday. Minnesota can even a playoff round at 2-2 after dropping each of the first two contests for the third time in franchise history (also 2014 R2 & R1).

* Kaprizov ranks second in the NHL with 14 points this postseason and Matt Boldy shares the League lead with seven goals. Quinn Hughes’ 13 points mark the most among NHL defensemen – he can become the second U.S.-born blueliner in League history with 14 or more through 10 games during a playoff year, following Brian Leetch with the 1995 (14) and eventual Stanley Cup-champion 1994 Rangers (17).



FOLIGNO FACE-OFF WRAPPED UP ON MOTHER'S DAY AFTER RAISING MORE THAN $200,000
Marcus and Nick Foligno joined SportsCenter on Mother’s Day to recap the Foligno Face-Off, which raised more than $200,000 to fund a new breast cancer research grant at the Masonic Cancer Center in Minnesota through the V Foundation and Hockey Fights Cancer. Click here to read more.


* The Foligno Face-Off started as a sibling rivalry when the brothers played for opposing teams but evolved at the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline when Nick was dealt to the Wild by the Blackhawks. Their next goal is to become the second set of siblings over the last 40 years to win a Stanley Cup together.

#NHLPeachy @NHL NHL Morning Skate: Stanley Cup Playoffs Edition – May 10, 2026



* The Eastern Conference-champion Hurricanes are the first team to advance to the 2026 Conference Finals after posting back-to-back series sweeps. They are the third club in NHL history to enter the round before the Stanley Cup Final on an eight-game winning streak.



* Kirill Kaprizov and Quinn Hughes both skated to multi-point outputs as they helped the Wild halt the Avalanche’s winning streak, cut their series deficit to 2-1 with their third straight win at home and climb a number of franchise lists.



* Second Round action continues on Mother’s Day as the Sabres and Canadiens look to break their series stalemate at Bell Centre, while the Ducks aim to draw even with the Golden Knights.




HURRICANES SWEEP SECOND STRAIGHT SERIES TO ADVANCE TO CONFERENCE FINAL

After spending the entire season inside the playoff bracket, 104 consecutive game days atop the division and securing the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference for more than half the campaign (53%), the Hurricanes swept their second straight series to advance to the Conference Finals and moved within eight wins of their second-ever Stanley Cup championship. The victory came in overtime, where Jackson Blake (2-1—3) and Taylor Hall (0-3—3) combined on the series-clinching goal to help Carolina become the fifth team in NHL history to begin its postseason with eight consecutive wins – and the first to do so under the best-of-seven format (since 1987) – following the 1985 Oilers (9 GP), 1969 Blues (8 GP), 1960 Canadiens (8 GP) and the 1952 Red Wings (8 GP).




* The Hurricanes established a franchise record for longest winning streak, eclipsing their previous best of seven games set in 2006 en route to their lone Stanley Cup championship. They are just the third team in NHL history to enter the round before the Final on a run of that length, following the 1993 Canadiens, who extended their streak to 11 games, and the 1987 Oilers. Both teams went on to capture the Stanley Cup in those respective seasons.

* Blake (22 years, 279 days) became the second-youngest player in Hurricanes/Whalers history to score a series-clinching goal, behind Ulf Samuelsson (22 years, 17 days in Game 3 of 1986 DSF). He also joined Anaheim’s Cutter Gauthier as the second 22-year-old with a series-clinching goal in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs – there have only been three other postseasons in the past decade that have featured multiple players accomplish the feat at that age or younger: 2020, 2019 and 2017.

* Hall became the fifth player in Hurricanes/Whalers history with three assists in a series-clinching game, following John Anderson (2-4—6 in Game 3 of 1986 DSF), Kevin Dineen (2-3—5 in Game 3 of 1986 DSF), Jaccob Slavin (0-3—3 in Game 7 of 2019 R1) and Rod Brind’Amour (0-3—3 in Game 6 of 2002 CSF).

* Click here to read more notes from the Hurricanes’ advance ahead of the Conference Finals.



ANDERSEN DELIVERS ANOTHER STIFLING SERIES FOR HURRICANES

Frederik Andersen (8-0, .950 SV%, 1.12 GAA, 2 SO), the backbone of a Hurricanes team that has allowed only 10 goals through their first eight contests of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, has allowed two or fewer goals in eight straight games and became the fifth goaltender in the past 20 years to string together eight consecutive victories. The others: Chris Osgood (9 GP in 2008), Tuukka Rask (8 GP in 2019), Jonathan Quick (8 GP in 2012) and Dwayne Roloson (8 GP in 2011).


* Andersen is one of five goaltenders on record (since 1956) to post a goals-against average of 1.15 or better and a save percentage of .950 or better through eight playoff starts. The others: Anaheim’s Ilya Bryzgalov (1.07 GAA, .959 SV% in 2006), Tampa Bay’s Nikolai Khabibulin (0.99 GAA, .964 SV% in 2004), Ottawa’s Patrick Lalime (0.78 GAA, .970 SV% in 2002) and St. Louis’ Jacques Plante (1.00 GAA, .963 SV% in 1969).



* Andersen has been a staple in the crease for Carolina in the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs after practically splitting his club’s final 25 games to conclude the regular season (Andersen: 9-4-0 in 13 GP; Brandon Bussi: 8-3-1 in 12 GP) and has since captured his sixth career series-clinching win with the franchise – tied with Cam Ward for the most in Hurricanes/Whalers history.


ICYMI: Andersen’s series-clinching performance included a must-see, cross-crease save that denied Garnet Hathaway and the Flyers a go-ahead goal less than five minutes after Jackson Blake netted a tying tally in the second period.






WILD SNAP AVALANCHE’S WINNING STREAK, CUT SERIES DEFICIT TO 2-1

The Wild, led by Kirill Kaprizov (1-2—3) and Quinn Hughes (1-1—2), halted the Avalanche’s six-game winning streak and cut their series deficit in half with their third straight win at home – their second-longest run in franchise history behind 2014 (5 GP). Minnesota ended an opponent's run of that length in the playoffs for the second time in franchise history after doing so against Chicago in 2014 (Game 3 of R2).



* Kaprizov tied Nathan MacKinnon (3) for the most three-point games among all players this postseason as he improved his totals to 4-10—14 (9 GP) and overtook Mitch Marner (6-7—13 in 9 GP) for the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs scoring lead. Kaprizov climbed a number of franchise playoff lists with his performance Saturday – he moved into a tie with Zach Parise (14 in 2014) for the second-most points in a single postseason behind Marian Gaborik (17 in 2003), as well as atop the list for career multi-assist games, surpassing Parise and Mikko Koivu (both w/ 4) for the most in franchise history with his fifth.



* Hughes became the first defenseman and fifth player in Wild history to score multiple game-winning goals in a single postseason. He improved to 4-9—13 (9 GP) in the 2026 playoffs, which is the most points by a defenseman in their first postseason with a franchise since he recorded 2-14—16 (17 GP) in his playoffs debut with the Canucks in 2020.

* Hughes scored one of the Wild’s two goals that came from a defenseman on Saturday (also Brock Faber). Minnesota’s blueline has scored eight tallies during the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, which is tied with the Avalanche for the most among all teams. That total is now their most in a postseason, besting 2014 (7) and 2003 (6).






QUICK CLICKS





CELEBRATING MOTHER’S DAY WITH MORE STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS ACTION

Second Round action continues on Mother’s Day as the Sabres and Canadiens have their series shift to Bell Centre with a 2-1 advantage on the line, while the Ducks look to draw even against the Golden Knights after facing a series disadvantage in 2026 for the first time.






* The Sabres take to the road for the first time in the Second Round where they have won each of their past three contests, allowing one goal or less in each outing. Offensively, Syracuse, N.Y., native Alex Tuch has scored three of his four goals on the road this postseason and sits one contest shy of tying Pat LaFontaine (4 GP in 1992) and Gilbert Perreault (4 GP in 1980) for the longest road goal streak in Sabres playoff history.



* Buffalo, which can win four straight road games in a single postseason for the third time in franchise history (5 GP in 2006 & 4 GP in 1998), can become the ninth team in Stanley Cup Playoffs history to allow one goal or less in four consecutive contests as the visitor.






* Leo Carlsson (4-6—10 in 9 GP) co-leads the Ducks in points during the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs and has done so thanks in part to finding the score sheet in every game at Honda Center. Should the 21-year-old collect another point for Anaheim in Game 4, he would become the NHL’s youngest player with 11 or more points through his first 10 career playoff games since Elias Pettersson (4-9—13 in 2020).



* Jackson LaCombe (1-9—10 in 9 GP) has also been a catalyst for the Ducks offense, with his 10th career playoff game also on the horizon. He can join Al MacInnis (12), Jaccob Slavin (11), Jack Johnson (10), Joel Micheletti (10) and Paul Reinhart (10) as the sixth defenseman in NHL history with 10 or more assists through his first 10 career postseason outings.

Alle 11.00 di oggi, con il saluto del Ministro Adolfo Urso e alla presenza del Ministro Francesco Lollobrigida, l’inaugurazione ufficiale nella Tuttofood Hall in Corso Italia a Rho Fiera Milano ha sancito in modo netto il riconoscimento istituzionale per una manifestazione che porta l’Italia in un comparto strategico come l’agroalimentare a competere con fiere di settore storicamente leader nel Mondo.



Nel suo videomessaggio il Ministro Urso ha ricordato che “in un contesto sfidante come quello attuale, l’agroalimentare resta una colonna portante del nostro sistema produttivo una delle cinque eccellenze, delle “cinque A” del Made in Italy, riconosciuta nel mondo per qualità, identità, capacità di innovazione. I dati parlano chiaro: un export di oltre 70 miliardi, leadership europea per valore aggiunto agricolo, un primato mondiale nella produzione DOP e IGP— con circa 900 prodotti certificati che generano nel complesso oltre 20 miliardi di valore e oltre 12 miliardi di export. Il riconoscimento della cucina italiana come patrimonio immateriale dell’umanità”. Il ministro ha poi sottolineato come in “un comparto così dinamico il sistema fieristico rimane una leva strategica per lo sviluppo e l’internazionalizzazione soprattutto per le imprese più piccole che si aprono a nuovi mercati”. In questa direzione si colloca “l’intesa storica tra AEFI e IT-EX che valorizza le fiere come strumenti di politica industriale”, e ha aggiunto che “il Governo è al fianco delle imprese per sostenere l’innovazione, la sicurezza degli approvvigionamenti e per ampliare la presenza sui mercati esteri”. In particolare, ha concluso, “con il Piano Transizione 5.0 accompagniamo la doppia transizione Digitale e Green”.



“TuttoFood è una vetrina internazionale che racconta la capacità dell’Italia di affermarsi nel mondo come patria del bello, del buono e della qualità” ha affermato il Ministro Lollobrigida. “Attraverso l’incontro tra produttori, trasformatori, distributori e buyer internazionali, Tuttofood valorizza l’intera filiera agroalimentare italiana, contribuendo alla crescita dell’export, alla promozione del Made in Italy e alla creazione di nuove opportunità economiche. È quanto mai strategico fare sistema, creando sinergie tra le fiere italiane e rafforzando la competitività della nostra nazione sui mercati globali. In un contesto internazionale complesso, Tuttofood si conferma così un punto di riferimento fondamentale per promuovere innovazione, qualità e visione strategica dell’agroindustria italiana.



La presenza all’inaugurazione dei Presidenti di Fiere di Parma e di Fiera Milano, Franco Mosconi e Carlo Bonomi, suggella una chiave importante di questo risultato: la capacità di due soggetti fieristici in Italia, espressioni del meglio dei territori che rappresentano, di allearsi portando a sistema la competenza quarantennale acquisita da Parma con CIBUS, salone di riferimento per l’Agroalimentare Made in Italy, e l’attrattività internazionale, la potenza relazionale, la capacità logistica di Milano, snodo strategico per business, innovazione, cultura e incubatore di futuro.



“Per Fiere di Parma – ha affermato il Presidente Mosconi - è un onore e, al tempo stesso, una responsabilità lavorare - come si sta facendo da alcuni anni - alla costruzione di una piattaforma autenticamente internazionale per le imprese del food and beverage. Significativamente, la direttrice Parma-Milano-Colonia abbraccia le due più importanti manifatture dell’Unione Europea e - ne siamo profondamente convinti - rappresenta un esempio di collaborazione sovra-regionale fra attori pubblici e privati”.



“Nel nuovo equilibrio economico globale, segnato da instabilità geopolitica e crescente frammentazione dei mercati, è essenziale costruire piattaforme internazionali capaci di accompagnare le imprese nei processi di crescita e internazionalizzazione” ha dichiarato Carlo Bonomi, presidente di Fiera Milano. “In questo scenario, Tuttofood 2026 si conferma un punto di riferimento globale per l’agroalimentare e per il Made in Italy, favorendo innovazione, relazioni e nuove opportunità di sviluppo sui mercati internazionali”.



Alleanze che aggregano risorse ed energie che si uniscono alla partnership più che decennale tra Parma e Koelnmesse, organizzatore a Colonia di Anuga, vero gigante tra i saloni del mondo agroalimentare.

Parte integrante di questo sistema, ICE-Agenzia che con l’importante Buyer’s Program assicura a Tuttofood la crème internazionale tra i buyers del cibo operanti sia presso il retail che presso la ristorazione a cui Tuttofood dedica quest’anno ampio spazio tra food service e mixology.

Presente all’inaugurazione il Presidente, Matteo Zoppas, che ha dichiarato “Il 2025 ha confermato la forza strutturale dell’agroalimentare italiano con un export in crescita del 5% sull’anno precedente e un valore record di 72,5 miliardi nonostante un contesto internazionale segnato da tensioni geopolitiche e incertezze. Il riconoscimento della Cucina Italiana come patrimonio immateriale dell’UNESCO – frutto anche dell’impegno del Governo e in particolare del Ministro dell’Agricoltura Francesco Lollobrigida – rafforza il posizionamento e il valore percepito del nostro agroalimentare funzionando da soft power per l’intero Made in Italy”. Ha poi continuato “Ci sono certamente criticità da affrontare: la crisi in Medio Oriente incide direttamente su costi energetici e delle materie prime e i dazi americani stanno producendo effetti tangibili con un -21,9%di export verso gli Stati Uniti nei primi due mesi del 2026. Il governo, soprattutto attraverso la Diplomazia della crescita promossa dal ministro degli Esteri Antonio Tajani che coordina l’azione del Sistema Italia, sta lavorando per aprire nuovi canali commerciali verso aree emergenti per consentire alle imprese italiane di conquistare nuovi mercati. Il ruolo di ICE è strategico: nel 2025 abbiamo supportato oltre 2.200 aziende italiane nel solo settore agroalimentare e coinvolto più di 2.000 operatori esteri in missioni in Italia. A Tuttofood abbiamo portato oltre 200 operatori provenienti da 36 Paesi tra cui Arabia Saudita, Sud America, Canada, Cina, Stati Uniti, Emirati Arabi Uniti, Giappone, Indonesia e Singapore. Nel 2026 abbiamo in programma 258 iniziative dedicate al Food & Wine tra cui azioni di e‑commerce, accordi con la grande distribuzione internazionale, partecipazione a fiere in Italia e all’estero. In un mondo che cambia rapidamente, ICE continua a essere un punto di riferimento per l’internazionalizzazione delle imprese italiane contribuendo a consolidare la crescita di un settore che rappresenta il 15% del Pil nazionale”.

La dimensione internazionale acquisita da Tuttofood in sole due edizioni gestite da Fiere di Parma è confermata dalla partecipazione attiva di sigle rappresentative dei più importanti sistemi di rappresentanza europei del food & beverage, come Food&Drink Europe, EDA (European Dairy Association), AREPO (Associazione delle Regioni Europee per i Prodotti di Origine), AIM (Association des Industries de Marque), COPA-COGECA.



Intervenendo all’inaugurazione, Dirk Jacobs, Presidente Food&Drink Europe*, ha dichiarato: “In un contesto caratterizzato da incertezza geopolitica, interruzioni degli scambi commerciali e crescente frammentazione dei mercati, le piattaforme internazionali come TUTTOFOOD assumono un'importanza più che mai fondamentale per il settore agroalimentare. Offrono uno spazio indispensabile per rafforzare le relazioni commerciali, promuovere il dialogo e mantenere aperti i flussi commerciali agroalimentari oltre i confini nazionali. Nell'odierno, complesso, contesto globale, la collaborazione e gli scambi internazionali rimangono essenziali per costruire un sistema alimentare resiliente, competitivo e sostenibile”.

A delineare il futuro Antonio Cellie, AD Fiere di Parma: “Abbiamo inaugurato un Tuttofood record a Milano grazie ad un modello fieristico nato e cresciuto a Parma con Cibus. Negli anni abbiamo sviluppato specifiche competenze nella profilatura e gestione di top buyers nei diversi canali ai quali dal 2025 siamo in grado di offrire, ogni anno, un evento fieristico che diventa imperdibile per qualità e quantità dei prodotti esposti. Ora Tuttofood, che tornerà nel 2028, e dal 2027 in tutti gli anni dispari Cibus. L’obiettivo è costruire un dialogo e una piattaforma permanenti per discutere e costruire, tra tutti i soggetti, un futuro del Cibo che sia sostenibile, sano ed accessibile. Tutto questo attraverso eventi fieristici leggibili e immersivi per i visitatori professionali di tutto il mondo, privilegiando i prodotti di qualità e quelli legati ai territori non solo italiani. Così come a Cibus sono protagoniste le Marche iconiche e le DOP alfieri del made in Italy a Tuttofood troveremo sia i protagonisti internazionali dell’industria alimentare sia le IG Europee e non. Girando per i padiglioni di Tuttofood si percepisce chiaramente l’intenzione degli espositori, indipendente dalla loro provenienza o dimensione, di comunicare che il Cibo non è solo merce con un valore economico ma progetto culturale in grado di garantire giustizia, sostenibilità e longevità condivisa”.

Significativo anche il cerimoniale del Taglio del nastro a cui hanno partecipato anche 60 rappresentanti di Regioni italiane e TPO presenti in fiera schierati sul palco della cerimonia.

Al termine, il Ministro Lollobrigida e gli altri notabili hanno fatto visita alla fiera, in un percorso che ha scrupolosamente toccato tutti i 10 Padiglioni espositivi.

Tra gli highlights del primo giorno, nel pomeriggio dell’11, il primo Forum Internazionale della Cucina Italiana, alle 16 presso l’Auditorium Centro Congressi Stella Polare. Organizzato in collaborazione con il Ministero dell’agricoltura, della sovranità alimentare e delle foreste (presente il Min. Lollobrigida, che chiuderà il forum), affronterà il tema della cucina italiana, oggi patrimonio immateriale UNESCO, come strumento di diplomazia culturale e potente soft power del nostro Paese per promuovere lo sviluppo economico.

In occasione del Forum, l’AD Fiere di Parma Antonio Cellie presenterà ufficialmente a espositori e visitatori il Food Manifesto, Carta dei Valori del futuro del Cibo (https://www.tuttofood.it/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Manifesto-Food-ITA.pdf) che si ispira proprio al complesso di valori che permeano il nostro Made in Italy Agroalimentare e che si traducono nella nostra cucina oggi celebrata a livello universale.



Alle 15.30 alla Fruit & Veg Arena del Pad 4 “Fresh & Produce Retail Europe workshop”, presentazione ufficiale di “AOP Unione Quarta Gamma” e dei dati della ricerca condotta dall’Osservatorio omonimo, sviluppato da TUTTOFOOD con Agroter e Toluna, su 9 Paesi europei (Austria, Belgio, Francia, Germania, Grecia, Paesi Bassi, Spagna, Svizzera, Ungheria), coinvolgendo 7.000 intervistati, clienti di 250 insegne europee, per l’assegnazione del primo Fresh & Produce Retail Award alle migliori insegne a livello europeo nella gestione dei freschi.

Sempre alle 15.30 al Pad. 3 all’area Federalimentare si svolgerà l’incontro The New Food Order: geopolitical shock and European Agrifood Resilience, con gli interventi del Ministro Lollobrigida, di Maurizio Martina, vice presidente FAO, di Massimiliano Giansanti, presidente COPA, di Dirk Jacobs, presidente Food&Drink Europe, e di Paolo Mascarino, presidente Federalimentare. Atteso anche Raffaele Fitto.

Da segnalare, alle 14.00 all’AREPO Vision Arena, Pad. 3, l’incontro DOP Economy: il valore europeo delle Indicazioni Geografiche tra competitività e territori che offrirà una lettura aggiornata della “DOP Economy” come leva di crescita sostenibile, alla luce delle recenti evoluzioni normative e dell’Action Plan europeo sulle IG. Esordiscono infatti a Tuttofood le IG europee con una premiere per i prodotti del territorio a livello internazionale: una novità assoluta nel contesto delle fiere globali dell’agroalimentare.
