In honour of Valentine's Day, which will soon arrive, Barilla will send one lucky couple on a vacation to Italy, widely regarded as one of the most romantic countries in the world.

This new giveaway from Barilla, which corresponds with the launch of Barilla's new heart-shaped pasta, will consist of two round-trip flights, accommodations in Parma and Florence, up to three tours, and fantastic food-filled (in this case, pasta-filled) experiences. In light of the facts that Parma is located in the Emilia-Romagna area, which is widely referred to as the finest culinary destination in Italy, and Florence features an abundance of superb restaurants, it is safe to say that Barilla is not exaggerating when it makes that final guarantee.

Although just one lucky couple will get to go to Italy on Barilla's dime, the company is giving away a number of "Barilla Love Pasta Kits." Each kit includes a 12-ounce box of Barilla's "sign of love" shapes, which are a limited-edition cut similar to the brand's popular Mezzi Rigatoni, as well as Valentine's cards and other items that can be used to create a romantic, home-cooked meal for two. The kits are available for purchase on Barilla's website.

"There's a tale behind every shape of pasta. Reimagining our classic Blue Box pasta line to include this endearing shape is, from our point of view, yet another way for pasta lovers to come together and celebrate their shared passion for both pasta and each other "According to a statement made by Melissa Tendick, vice president of marketing for Barilla Americas, a press release was issued. "There is no better way to show you care than through cooking, and we are looking forward to seeing our fans create authentic and delicious Italian meals at home this Valentine's Day." "We are looking forward to seeing our fans create authentic and delicious Italian meals at home this Valentine's Day."

You can join the contest by going to the official website for the Barilla Love giveaway. There, you will be asked to provide your contact information as well as a 250-word essay describing "how Barilla brings you closer to a loved one." To be eligible for consideration, you must be at least 18 years old and a resident of the United States. Because the submission period ends on February 1 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), you'll want to move quickly. Buona fortuna!
