Arnoldo Mondadori Editore : A Weekend of Wellbeing by Starbene in Milan

Starbene, the Mondadori Brand that is a point of reference in the world of health and wellbeing, is organising for the first time a free two-day event entirely dedicated to prevention, healthy eating, beauty and fitness in order to celebrate with its audience forty years of authoritativeness and competence.

A Weekend of Wellbeing, on 21 and 22 October at the Microsoft House in Viale Pasubio in Milan, with a full programme of events run in conjunction with outstanding collaborators: not just the usual team of experts that Starbene depends on, but also doctors from the Gruppo Ospedaliero San Donato - the patron of the event -, Virgin Active personal trainers, chefs from the Sale&Pepe cooking school and beauty experts from important companies in the cosmetics sector.

'The mission of Starbene is to consider health as a question of lifestyle. A way of ensuring that a balanced diet, appropriate physical exercise and an awareness of one's body becomes a question of habit. What could be better than a weekend of wellbeing to promote this philosophy? During the two days at Microsoft House we will offer participants the wellness kit that everyone needs,' said the editor ofStarbene, Annalisa Monfreda.

The event will open on Saturday 21 October at 12 midday and alongside the editor Annalisa Monfreda, the City of Milan Councillor for Sport, Tourism and Leisure, Roberta Guaineri, will also be present.

The programme is organised in four macro areas, with events taking place from 10 am to 7 pm.
