Blue Zone Legal joins the Italian–Costa Rican Chamber of Commerce in launching the Dolce Vita Fest 2026, a major event bringing Italy’s culture, lifestyle, and business excellence to Costa Rica.
Blue Zone Legal, in its capacity as a Patron Member of the Italian–Costa Rican Chamber of Industry and Commerce (CICIC), is proud to announce its participation in the upcoming Dolce Vita Fest 2026—a flagship event that will bring the best of Italian lifestyle, culture, gastronomy, design, and music to Costa Rica.
The festival, scheduled for 2026, was officially presented this week during a press conference organized by the CICIC, with significant participation from the media, partner companies, institutions, and special guests. During the event, our CEO and Founding Partner, Cristina Guerrini, in her role as President of the Chamber, delivered the closing remarks and outlined the vision behind this important new initiative.
“The Dolce Vita Fest is not just a launch; it is the beginning of a project we want to see grow year after year—a space where Italy and Costa Rica meet through gastronomy, culture, music, creativity, and the companies that strengthen this relationship.” — Cristina Guerrini.
A Celebration of Talent, Culture, and Community
The launch event featured a special performance by Costa Rican rhythmic gymnast Gloriana Sánchez, member of the Costa Rican National Rhythmic Gymnastics Team and athlete of Academia Artzú, who performed O Sole Mio in the Andrea Bocelli version.
Guerrini highlighted Gloriana’s exceptional talent and shared a heartfelt aspiration with the audience—the hope that, with the support of the Chamber’s network and wider community, Gloriana may perform in Italy during the 2026 Rhythmic Gymnastics World Cup stage.
As both a former gymnast and the mother of a young gymnast, this moment held special meaning for Guerrini.
A photograph taken during the event—featuring Cristina, Gloriana, and her daughter Cloe—captured the emotion of the moment: a young girl inspired by a national athlete, and a President who understands, both personally and professionally, the importance of nurturing talent.
A Global Network Supporting Business Growth
In her speech, Guerrini emphasized the strategic role of the CICIC within the Assocamerestero network, which connects Costa Rica to:
- 84 Italian Chambers abroad
- 61 countries
- More than 20,000 Italian and European companies
This international platform supports companies in identifying commercial partners, expanding into new markets, and pursuing high-value strategic opportunities. Services include B2B meetings, trade missions, representation at international fairs, visibility campaigns, institutional engagement, and legal, tax, and corporate guidance.
Blue Zone Legal Will Host a Stand at the Dolce Vita Fest 2026
As a Patron Member, Blue Zone Legal will have its own stand at the festival. Our team will be available to:

An Open Invitation to Companies and Entrepreneurs
Guerrini invited more companies—Italian, Costa Rican, and international—to join the Chamber and take an active role in this growing network.
She also thanked the influencers and content creators present at the launch, recognizing their valuable role in amplifying the festival’s message and engaging new audiences.
Building the First Edition of a Festival with a Long Future Ahead
The Dolce Vita Fest 2026 aims to become a flagship annual event, showcasing Italian culture, excellence, creativity, and lifestyle to the Costa Rican public.
