To open facebook page in facebook app you should:

1)Find uid of your page (it can be done for example by looking at source code of your facebook page)

I got the following fragment from the source code of the page: http://www.facebook.com/Innova.et.Bella

{"text":"Innova et Bella","type":"ent:page","uid":73728918115}

N.B.: To check if uid is correct substitute uid for pagename: http://www.facebook.com/73728918115 This url should open your page.

2) When the uid is found end is correct use this code:

NSURL *urlApp = [NSURL URLWithString:@"fb://profile/73728918115"];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:urlApp];

This code will open you page within facebook app. N.B.: Do not forget to check if the facebook app exists( or more precisely that the url can be opened) using: if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:urlApp]) otherwise open it in Safari.
