Emissaries from all four countries came to the Swiss capital to showcase their culture, with Bernese natives being treated to displays of Italian flag-waving, Romanian wind instruments, French wines and Dutch clogs. Organisers say the event helped contribute to the spirit of international understanding ahead of the city's opening UEFA EURO 2008™ game, between the Netherlands and Italy on 9 June.
