On the other hand, Comcast has no intention of giving up his grip to conquer the other prey, Sky. The satisfaction and strong feelings of the owners reached all the participants, who were thankful to be sharing with the company such an important moment during the cele- bration. The year co- ming to a close once again shows us as followers of our philosophy of va- lues, volumes and market shares and the factors that led to this result can be Rino Bovo, Ello Pelosin and Giuseppe Senese In these two images, moments from the opening of the new facilities in Borgoricco.

It is clear, that, in addition to their look back on the past and the excellent re- sults obtained so far, the success of OrtoRomi lies in knowing how to look ahead, in particular to foreign markets, where they can recognise the trends in a constantly evolving industry, with an increasingly demanding, evolved and in- formed clientele to satisfy.

It is for this reason, that one of the strategies adopted by the company is the participation in one of the most important European trade shows, like Fruit Attraction in Madrid and FruitLo- gistica in Berlin, annual appointments during which they have the opportuni- ty of stepping onto the worldwide plat- form in the produce industry and cap- turing the most interesting novelties, adapting them for the Italian market.

Starting from this respect, the com- pany programmed and launched its la- test ideas: The manufacturing techno- logy may change, quality standards and functions may improve, but the name is still the same: When speaking about wines, the sum of all these elements can only lead to excellent results. Especially when closing the circuit is a family histo- ry made of tradition, culture, love and new energy. And maybe just by stating the location, one will inevitably realise that this is one of the expressions of the most famous wi- nemaking traditions in Italia, where ma- king quality wine is history and culture, but also hard work, sacrifice, and daily ef- forts.

All these things are well known by Celestino Gaspari, enologist of interna- tional fame who, in , after nume- rous professional experiences as consul- tant and oenological manager of some of the most important wineries in Vero- na and the country, decided to create his own winery: From that moment on, an extraordinary adventure began. Because this is a land rife with history and traditions that need to be pre- served, protected, but with the right at- tention and care, studied and renewed.

In other words, respect for tradition but also a knowledgeable look to the future. Over the years, the company has adopted a widespread structure, meaning cultiva- ting vineyards and olive groves all across the Veneto area, with particular concen- tration in Valpolicella but also other parts of Verona, and the province of Vi- cenza. In the top range of the company are gre- at classics of Veronese tradition, Dop, wi- nes, like Valpolicella Giovane, Valpolicel- la Superiore Ripasso, Amarone Classico or Riserva, together with newer wines like Oseleta, a dry red, result of the purity of a native grape, the prize-winning Harlequin and Kairos or From Black to White, a whi- te produced from albino grapes, perfect also as an aperitif.

This is what we have always done - continues Celestino Gaspari, who now runs the business with the help of his daughter, Marta - and this is what we are trying to express in every bottle. The result is a perfect balance of smells, tastes and fragrance. Wines which embra- ce and accompany the excellent dishes of Veronese tradition, and the other great di- shes of Italy as well as the most intere- sting variants of modern cooking.

Passion, hard work and culture. Success is never the result of chance. A phenomenon that is becoming increasingly popular and is supported by a genuine change of mind in which food is no longer seen as merely a need but a primary source of well-being. The shelves of major retail chains, as well as traditional shops, are now taken over by functional pro- ducts, those that are enriched, Gmo- free or carbon neutral, but ruling the ro- ost, without doubt, are organic ones.

Organic products are now widely consu- med, for some companies this is a re- cent trend, but for others it has been a source of pride for decades. This is the case of Molino Grassi, a company from Parma that is a leader in the transformation of grain into flour and semolina. Its first meeting with the organic world dates back to the early s and, over the years, it has for- ged a close relationship with the world of agricultural, with which it has set up chains of production that begin with the sowing up to the actual milling. The next step was entering the organic world.

Family history, passion and respect for nature are the operational corner- stones of Molino Grassi, a company founded in and now in its fourth generation of the Grassi family. Its clients are companies produ- cing bakery goods and pasta makers, which include some of the most impor- tant Italian food companies. At a time when consumption patterns and eating habits vary continuously, flour and bread and bakery products are a key part of our daily shop. And these collabo- rations - concludes director, Silvio Gras- si - are undertaken with environmental protection in mind.

Molino Grassi is clearly not con- tent with making easy money and aims to further expand its presence both in domestic and foreign markets. One of the most interesting markets which is sensitive to our corporate values is the United States where a branch has been opened. It has been such a huge success that soon the company from Parma could open others in the United States and in dif- ferent parts of the world too. The decision to focus strictly on the production of high quality flour and se- molina and on organic products has therefore allowed Molino Grassi to cre- ate an innovative and successful mar- ket position, creating direct and ever more profitable relationships with ma- jor food companies and laying the foundations for new and innovative commercial outlets.

The best reaction, as always, comes every day from the market and the end consumers. In this sense, actions which favor reco- gnition are those of communication and information on the quality characteristics of the product and its ties to its land. Ve- ritable credentials, that have always been a part of the company strategy at Grup- po Igor in Novara, the diamond-tipped peak of the Italian cheese sector and lea- der in the production of Gorgonzola Dop. This is thanks to its territorial recognizabi- lity along with, obviously, its great quali- ty, no, better said, its excellence. Quali- ty which we have been following for more than eighty years now.

And this has mar- ked the development path for our com- pany. There is no doubt about the fact that among the great riches of our count- ry, there are also great typical cheeses, and gorgonzola is one of the most reco- gnized products on the Italian table. Born in , the company has expe- rienced a long family and industrial de- velopment, which over time, has made it grow. This was also thanks to its acquisi- tion of other important companies in the area, like Ballarini - strongly desired by the Leonardi family in order to grow their presence on world markets — Clin, and even more recently, Pal, the historic chee- se-maker of the Valsesia valley.

And all this without forgetting the at- tention that we have always paid to so- cial and environmental aspects that has always made our company stand out. Just to actuate a policy of sustainable growth, Igor acquired systems and instruments of the latest generation, in order to car- ry out important interventions regarding energy efficiency, optimization of hydro re- sources, and the reduction of atmosphe- ric emissions. So, to sum it up, with Igor, services are ever more evolved and technologies are ever more avant-garde.

But at the base of The Leonardi family. Very rigid standards of quality which all of the companies in the Group fully sha- re. It howe- ver is necessary to underline these con- cepts always, because in a mature and important market such as ours, words are not enough, the market wants facts. And the facts say that at Igor our voyage be- gins with exceedingly selected dairy farms in Piemonte and Lombardia, where the cows live in a healthy way, and are fed natural feed. Milk produced in this man- ner is of high quality — concludes Fabio Leonardi — and this is just the first step in a very rigid production line which pro- duces our gorgonzola as its final product.

It can be sweet or spicy. In addition to the different formats — among which the practical and convenient gram tubs that can be opened and closed stand out — Igor also produces di- verse references: The company then began to diversify its products by creating the Gran Riserva Le- onardi Igor, a Premium Gorgonzola with a sweet and rich taste with exclusive nuan- ces, the result of artisan work and a very careful and refined selection. But even the new items are a part of the Igor world. And while further de- velopment is being finalized at the huge factory in Cameri Novara , the other factories belon- ging to the Leonardi family are produ- cing tasty novelties able to intercept the new demands of the modern con- sumer, who is ever more sensitive to health aspects.

Quality, passion, respect for tradition and innovation. For over 80 years, these are the elements which make Gorgonzola Igor stand out, they make the difference in Italy and abroad. Over the years the company grew and mo- ved its operational base in the Verona area, maintaining production and distri- bution areas in Trentino while setting up others whether of its own property or ow- ned by suppliers, in Piemonte and in sou- thern Italia.

Today, under the leadership of the three cousins Eleonora, Matteo and Stefano Mosca, Garden Frutta, with the same care that the first generation sho- wed in selecting the best fruit, has woven an impressive network of relationships with Italian and international producers, ensuring continuous availability of its gua- ranteed products. The company is capable of retrieving and offering any type of fruit during any period of the year.

In addition to the production of berries, it has expanded its product range and developed a growing distribu- tion of sought-after products: So, to strawberry and berries, which re- main the core products, have been added pineapple, mango, papaya, lime, plus all the exotic fruits like dragon fruit, pomelo, ginger, and lychee, all products increasin- gly demanded by wholesalers and restau- rateurs.

Garden Frutta exports all over Europe, starting from closer countries like Austria, Germany and Switzerland, up to eastern Europe, in countries such as Slovenia, Ser- bia, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, as well as in Northern Europe with a presen- ce in the Netherlands and Scandinavia. From abroad, the company imports mainly from Chile, Argentina and Uruguay, for the three-month long campaign of exotic fruits and berries.

In addition, there are the im- ports from Mexico and Peru, which are in- teresting countries thanks to the counter- season. In this manner, the company can have fresh berries for various months of the year. From Asia it imports uncommon fruit, especially from China and Vietnam. It also imports from Israel and European countries, without forgetting the excellen- ce of small Italian producers in particular of the Verona area and the Trentino Alto Adige area, from where everything started.

The portfolio of nations from where Gar- den Frutta imports embraces all of the continents, and this makes it possible to obtain and bring into Italia basically any type of fruit. Strawberries and berries, core products of the company Lemongrass Guava Pytaya Rosa. The new high-tech establishment makes it possible to reach new volumes and mar- kets, especially foreign, in fact the area of the quadrant is found at the crossing of the highways of Brennero direction north- south , and Serenissima direction west- east , and at the crossing of the corre- sponding railways, thus very strategic to reach all of Europe.

The infrastructure sy- stem is, in addition, directly connected to the Verona-Villafranca airport. It is first in Italia for combined traffic volume and it was recognized as the best interport in Europe. Within the interport, Garden Frutta boasts a 10, sq. In the new structure, 5, square meters are completely refrigerated and de- dicated to the production and packaging of products. Fundamental elements given that today the company has infinite availability of fruits and vegetables from all over the world.

Graden Frutta produces and packages under three brands.

Stay tuned!

Furthermore, it packages all small fruits branded Dole. The production lines manage more than 20, packages a day, with a capa- city of 40, packages. The company directly produces strawberries and berries, importing these du- ring the off-season to guarantee the products days a year. The products are guaranteed by certified high quality standards. Lombardia A communication project created by Carlo Pavese Lots of sport, good food, art, local culture and uncontaminated nature in the national parks Sondrio, a province to discover V altellina and Valchiavenna represent, for the Region of Lombardia one of the most impor- tant and well-known alpine paradises, capable of offering tourists a first rate experience.

The fascinating voyage in the province of Sondrio This year, our winter travels lead us to discover the splendid province of Sondrio. Becau- se here everyone can find what fits them best. Valtellina and Valchiavenna, each one with its own beauty and characteristics.

One of the three Italian provinces that are entirely mountainous, like a sta- te law defined them, framed by the Rhaetian Alps, to the north, and by the Orobie Alps to the south. This far-away and distant land is not home and a source of joy only for those who love the mountains.

Here, everyone can find a location perfect for their needs. Starting from five must-see locations: Chiavenna, Mor- begno, Sondrio province capital , Tirano and Bormio, that, in addi- tion to locations, churches and buil- dings part of the history and culture of the territory, offer beautiful cor- ners of daily life and entertain tou- risms with events of various kinds. Valtellina is not only Italia.

It is also Switzerland: It is the highest railway tract of the Alps and is also one of the naturally steepest railways in the world. A breathtaking journey, in the winter thanks to its spectacular snowy white panorama that seems to bring travelers over the clouds, and in the summer for the equally spectacular mountain landscape that can be enjoyed from open panoramic train cars, that allow travelers to be one with nature. The earth, with a mainly agricultural vocation, is also a source of worthy products with prestigious marks.

The Bresaola, typical Valtellina sau- sage Igp , very tasty and renowned at a national level, the different kin- ds of apple Golden Delicious, Red Delicious and Gala , cheeses and wi- nes whose production is difficult be- cause of the location of the vineyards on small parcels of land, supported by dry-stone walls, that form the prestigious and par- Province of Sondrio Proud of its resources and rich with opportunities for tourists to enjoy The Bormio Panorama Local products Luca Della Bitta Chairman of the Province. The prestigious cheese of Bitto and Casera Valtellina, both Dop; fun- damental products for the prepara- tion of typical dishes such as the piz- zoccheri a tagliatella shaped pasta made with buckwheat , the sciatt, small pancakes, also of buckwheat with cheese filling, and the taragna polenta.

For lovers of good food Valtellina is thus the ideal place: For the more dynamic, there are many types of sports to choose from, both in the winter and summer. The ideal destination for lovers of this sport are the locations of Livigno, Bor- mio, Santa Caterina Valfurva, Made- simo, Aprica, Valmalenco, Valgero- la, with numerous trails, perfect for all tastes and needs.

Snow not only in the winter. On the Stelvio glacier one can ski from May to November, with the possibility of meeting win- ter sports champions that come here to train. Even the other seasons are not any less. The Adda river, perfect for lo- vers of rafting, canoe and kayak, and the Mezzola lake, ideal for boating. Climbing, from the classic wall to the more recent rock climbing, ma- kes Valmasino the ideal destination. The trails for those who love tran- sportation on two-wheels.

In the last few years much attention was placed in this category of tourists. Numerous trails were dedicated to cycling: The Valchiavenna cycling trail, going through the Pian di Spagna reserve. More expert and high-alti- tude biking trails were also created. In conclusion, in Valtellina and Val- chiavenna you will be welcome, whatever your ambition.

In over years, the Chamber has accom- panied the economic transformation that has taken the province from an almost exclusively agricultural eco- nomy to a modern and balanced sec- toral structure, with strong local character provided by tourism and the food farming sector. Through its research department, it is the only body that monitors the economic system, collects and pro- cesses data from different sources, which is indispensable knowled- ge for creating development poli- cies.

The Son- drio stop of the ro- adshow promoted in by Mise and organised by Ice-Agenzia and by the Chamber revealed that the- re are 7, employees expor- ting companies in the province and an estimated others may access international markets. Since , the Chamber has contributed more than , euro to compa- nies to take part in international fairs. The Cham- ber has signed provincial and re- gional agreements for shared ini- tiatives to increase competitiveness, which have strengthened the area concerned.

A good example is that of the 5 million euro commitment to the Morbegno bypass. Within the portfolio of projects, the Marchio Valtellina, updated in for the Ski World Cham- pionships in Bormio, bestows the institution a central role: The Marchio Valtelli- na is issued by the Chamber to la- bel high-quality products, alrea- dy recipients of Community origin or specific geographical collective labels, or or- ganic certifications, and for the labeling of companies that have Helping local companies expand abroad The Sondrio Chamber of Commerce provides its services to more than 14 thousand companies The Secretary-General Marco Bonat and President Emanuele Bertolini.

The Valtellina Trust Fund project for access to credit, launched in , co-funded by the Provin- ce of Sondrio and implemented by the Chamber with the cooperation of local banks and credit unions, has activated soft loans totalling over 17 million euro to more than companies. The Chamber is parti- cipating in the tourist development project of Valtellina, with , euro co-financed on equal basis with the Lombardia Region and lo- cal partners.

The focus will be gi- ven to the preparation of busines- ses looking to foreign markets, di- gitisation, supporting businesses with information and training ser- vices, accompanying and consolida- ting the online presence and deve- lopment of the use of social media channels and, in general, the tools available on the net. Investment will be made in initiatives to sim- plify Suap one-stop business advi- sory centre , with the proposal for the direct management, through an agreement. The Chamber has also already ac- tivated both in the development at local level of the National Re- gistry for School Work Alternation and, within the context of market regulation, the management of the conciliation service and, since a few weeks ago, the over-indebtedness crisis body.

La Camera di Commercio risponde. The headquarters Alik Cavaliere. Moritz valleys and crossroads betwe- en the Spluga and Maloja passes. Rare natural beauties are to be found here: At Prosto di Piuro, a visit to Palazzo Vertemate Franchi is well worth whi- le; a residential complex built on the outskirts of the village and therefore saved from the landslide of with one of the most beautiful 16th cen- tury villas in the province of Sondrio. In the historic centre of Chiavenna si- gns of its ancient splendour are still visible.

Bre- gaglia and Spluga trekking routes are offered to enthusiasts: Valchiavenna is all out to be disco- vered also for its bicycle tracks with over 50 km of mountain bike tracks and a mixture of surfaced roads and dirt tracks. The principal itinerary starts from Villa di Chiavenna, con- necting up with the Swiss Val Bre- gaglia tourist cycling track, to as far as Verceia, at a few kilometres from Lake Como. To observe the territo- ry from the saddle of a pedalled two wheeler is an extraordinary opportu- nity and the same can be said of the not to missed incredible Tracciolino trail, one of the most famous and best known to mountain bike enthusiasts; a truly magnificent trail entirely dug out of the rock and in fact overhangs the lake at Novate Mezzola, offering matchless views with as many as 22 tunnels to go through before reaching Codera, a picturesque mountain villa- ge with only paths to connect it with the valley below.

Entertainment for all in the snow: For ski and snowboard fans Skiarea Valchia- venna offers 60 km of ski runs for al- pine skiing, open from November through to late spring, equipped with modern automatic hook-up systems and easy to reach from all parts of the town without having to use the ski- bus. Those who pre- fer the fascination of high altitudes can go up to the 3, metre Pizzo Groppera and trace out exciting zig- zags down the Val di Lei ski runs or ski down to the valley on the Cana- lone run, one of the most incredible off piste runs in the Alps.

And again Baby Park for the little ones, natu- re walks with snowshoes, ice skating and snowcat itineraries. A walk along the streets of the centre necessarily lead to the beautiful piaz- zas with their soapstone fountains. From the Parco botanico archeologi- co del Paradiso is a magnificent view of the city.

A short distance from the park, in the old craftsman quarter of Chiavenna, is the Mulino della Bot- tonera: Leaving Chiavenna behind and he- ading towards Val Bregaglia is the only home which, thanks to its posi- tion, survived the disastrous mudsli- de which, in , destroyed the vil- lage of Piuro. In Prosto, in the area of Cortinaccio, is the Palazzo Verte- mate Franchi, belonging to the city of Chiavenna, one of the most inte- resting Renaissance villas of the re- gion, with rooms completely frescoed with mythological scenes, with en- graved and inlaid walls and ceilings.

Particularly interesting are the rooms of Jupiter and Mercury and the Zo- diac, the meeting room, and Carya- tid room. The Pastificio di Chiavenna, pa- sta factory of Chiavenna, has been producing dry pasta for years. Spring water, flour of the best qua- lity, and most of all, love and pas- sion are the ingredients that make a difference. At the pasta factory of Chiavenna, the production of Pizzoccheri is done with original machinery of the time, because only this way it is possible to preserve the delicious artisan ta- ste of homemade pasta.

Today, in fact, it produces also organic pasta and, in addition, it has the authorization of the Ministry of Health to produce dietetic products. And in the future? The technicians of the pasta factory are working to create a pasta with very little car- bohydrates. A dietetic pasta, certi- fied and affordable for those who re- quire special diets due to diabetes and weight.

Another plus of this company is the Italian industrial heritage and the adoption of sustainable environmen- tal policies with the use of green energy for the entire production and solutions to reduce CO2 for energy savings. With the launch of Per- fecto, their sales network was inte- grated, creating new jobs. A good period for Dispotech, the Italian company with worldwide recognition in the production of single-use products for different in- dustries, including dentistry, which is where their most important news for comes from: All single-use dental products can be identified by the new name and logo.

The new Perfecto line is identical to the single-use Dispotech for den- tistry, with the quality, technical characteristics which have always made it stand out on the market, just under a new brand. Perfecto, Dispo- tech Dental Excellence, means high quality in all single-use products, now made even more enticing by the new graphics and packaging. To enhance the new Dispotech den- tal line, a refined, yet decisive co- lour was chosen, purple, with the aim that all workers in the sector will recognise it at a glance on the shelf and choose it without hesita- tion.

Perfecto was studied by Dispotech to respond to the needs of dental practices.

Increasingly more den- tists are asking, together with high quality and guaranteed single-use products, more attention to aes- thetics. With Perfecto, Dispotech has been able to bring together the excellence of their single-use dental products with captivating visuals and packaging. Quality has a diamond logo A perfect smile? Ask your dentist for Dispotech disposables Massimo Mortarotti, his son Emanuele and his faithful dog, Zagor.

Then comes the line dedicated to protection, with unit covers, he- adrest covers, and seat covers, de- contaminating rugs, cotton rolls and bandages, all the sterile linen for dental practices. With the Perfecto line, every den- tist can use the quality single-use products he needs, coordinated with the same graphics, that look good, and can do it all by turning to a single distributor thereby re- ducing costs and dispatch times. After ten years working as an employee in the chemical-medical indust- ry in Milano, Mortarotti decided to start a new business dedicated to producing single-use products in Gordona, in Valchiavenna Italia.

Recognised in Italia and abroad for their manufacturing of single-use products for various industries - medical, dental, sports, promotions, and large-scale distribution - the company can offer products both under the Dispotech brand or a Private Label as well as making personalised lines for important international businesses. The charming historic centre, gathe- red at the foot of the mountain along the banks of River Bitto, offers a me- morable stroll through a network of narrow old streets where the most an- cient buildings stand, with their fre- scoed walls and beautiful balconies made of wrought iron, a typically lo- cal craft.

Tourism, culture and events are wo- ven together in a virtuous circle at Morbegno. And then art enthusiasts will not forgo a visit to Collegiata di San Gio- vanni Battista: The church, with its graceful curved facade desi- gned in the late Baroque style, has a true and proper picture gallery inside with the best of 18th century Lom- bard art and moreover the collegiate church also boasts important holy re- lics: Ano- ther obligatory stop for enthusiasts is the Dominican S. All artistic legacies recently restored and once again open to the public thanks to major upgrading works funded by Fondazioni Mattei and Promor foundations, public and private orga- nizations and by the Fondazione Isa- bel and Balz private Foundation.

The only safe and secure crossing in the lower part of River Adda for many centuries, it was of fundamental importance for trade. Natu- re lovers can make their way into the surrounding valleys to discover alpi- ne pastures and paths for excursions in the Parco Regionale delle Orobie Valtellinesi nature reserve. Alpine pastures are still the site of the tradi- tional summer transhumance for live- stock and for processing milk, which in the River Bitto valleys creates the king of Valtellina cheeses, with its matchless organoleptic qualities and extraordinary aptitude for ripening.

But how many consider the pro- blem of how and where this won- derful resource comes from? And how many reflect on the work, the history, of those who produce elec- tricity, maybe for over a century, and so can rightly call themselves a pioneer in the field? So much so that, when Enel was founded in and swallowed up the vast majority of local Ita- lian producing companies, Sem re- tained its managerial autonomy in and around the Morbegno area.

Finally, in , the facility at Sorico alto was built. Then you can add three new po- wer plants: The rest is history: Almost all the electricity is produ- ced by 19 groups that ensure the needs of the distribution network, a virtuous example of how renew- able resources can be intelligently exploited and have allowed the Val- tellina to achieve energy indepen- dence, thanks to prudent use of wa- ter resources. With the aim of impro- ving efficiency in the supply and sy- stem checks, in , Sem began to install electronic meters for remote management, and for the future it is working on a smart grid to reba- lance the energy flows coming from various renewable sources, in order to avoid imbalances and manage peak production and consumption more efficiently.

However, Sem is not just about electricity: Thanks to the cogeneration plant launched in , Sem actually supplies he- ating to an area of 35 km betwe- en Morbegno and Talamona, with a consumer network connected with more than 75, kW, a network that will be expanded once the bio- mass plant under construction in Cosio is complete. Thanks to the exploitation of rene- wable energy and district heating, Sem has obtained significant savin- gs in CO2 emissions, while also al- lowing the elimination of gas con- nections and boilers in individual homes, which makes maintenan- ce much safer and more economi- cal.

Sem is also involved in social and corporate responsibility, throu- gh its annual scholarships and the organisation of guided tours for lo- cal school children. A great company with a wonder- ful history and a future full of suc- cess and innovation, which, thanks to its focus on the environment, has succeeded in combining the ideas of progress with sustainability. This is the over twenty year experience at Givrem, which in turn achieved maturity in the sector on the shoulders of a family tra- dition that has lasted over forty years.

The story began long ago with the glass-working activity of the Gambetta family, begun - as often happens with successful Italian com- panies - in the warehouse below the family home. And from there, what to- day is called Vetrerie Gambetta, our family-run company specialized in the working of glass for domestic and in- dustrial use, took off.

And this is how, during the course of the years, this company from the Val- tellina began to make inroads into the sector of the working of glass, at first with soldered Tiffany-style bin- dings, then experimenting new wor- king techniques and perfecting others thanks to its skilled personnel, always up to date, and to its use of avant-gar- de instruments and equipment.

From the restoration of glass walls to sand- blasting, from incisions on glass to be- veling, all the way to painting and la- yering. And on this route of continual growth, Givrem, in just a short whi- le, became one of the prime names in glass art. And the range of products which come out of the arti- san workshops at Givrem is vast: The key word is customiza- tion. And to make it all come true, a When glass tradition becomes interior design and art For over 20 years, Givrem, run by the Gambetta family, has been making handmade and unique works team of qualified and constantly upda- ted professionals, are able to propose solutions to meet any need.

The Gam- betta family, today with a new genera- tion in the company, is involved on the front line of company management. They follow both the clientele and the pro- duction processes, while our collabo- rators and employees are highly qua- lified figures. This is the La Fiorida farmhouse which welcomes visitors to its venues of an authentic farm, able to inspire the nature experience of well- being which you feel when you enter its world. A world which digs its roots deep into the soil of the fields, in the animals raised in its stalls, in the fla- vors of it products on its short produc- tion lines.

It is the tradition to in- spire and distinguish the reality of the La Fiorida agri-tourism farm, for a uni- queness that is perceived immediately upon reaching the place. From the guided visits for children or families to the stalls or to the cheese- making area, to the wellness stays for couples, all this will bring each guest into contact with inspiration, and na- tural rhythms and sensations, for a quality that is perceived in the satisfac- tion of the desire for authentic relaxa- tion and the abandon of the daily rou- tine, even for work meeting sessions or for team building.

One of its two restaurants boasts a Michelin star since between the meeting rooms that are fully equipped, and above all, in the carrying out of the choral work typi- cal of a farm. Today, the real Bresaola of Valtelli- na - which differs from other pro- ducts resulting from the drying of beef - is guaranteed by the Europe- an Union trade mark Igp, Pgi, used exclusively by producers of the pro- vince of Sondrio that adhere to strict production regulations.

In this context, for more than a cen- tury, Del Zoppo Bresaole has manu- factured and marketed the authentic bresaola from Valtellina IGP, com- bining the experience and tradi- tional recipes with technology and modern knowledge. The ability to select the best cuts from the adult cattle, such as the tip of the hip, the topside and sil- verside, the skill in trimming, the quan- tities of natural fla- vourings used, are actually all rooted in ancient secret re- cipes. Over the years and with the hand- over of the company to the Moro brothers, the business has expanded and today has a production plant co- vering over 10 thousand square me- tres located in Buglio in Monte.

The company also produces other specialities such as Chiavennasca, Slinzega and No- strana, three artisan bresaola based on recipes of ancient butchers of the Val Chiavenna. Chiavennasca is a lightly smoked bresaola and differs from the tradi- tional product due to its truly uni- que production and ageing processes designed to follow as much as possi- ble the steps and processing timings of the past. For example, the bag- ging, which uses natural casing, and the entire processing is carried out by hand following artisan methods.

New this year are the Bio Bresao- la and Black Angus, either pre-sli- ced in trays or unsliced, or Bresaola Julienne and cubes ideal for salads, One slices leads to another All the flavour of Bresaole Del Zoppo pastas and risottos. It is also awaiting confirmation for Ja- pan and the United States. Four years ago a new technological- ly advanced plant began operating, which works alongside the existing one focused on ageing and produc- tion, and which performs the task of slicing the bresaola which is then sold in trays.

Today, at a distance of thirty years, Demetra is a well known consoli- dated business, also due to the fact that the organization is still the same, winning over the trust of the entire production chain: Romolo Verga, the Demetra com- mercial manager, will be talking about its expansion and future, starting from the 30 years of bu- siness celebrations and the begin- nings of the idea that led to de- veloping an enterprise: Movie rights have been optioned for the book. The English edition, Dream House , will be published by Keywords Press in , and you can be sure that her non-Italian speaking followers will be waiting for its publication with baited breath.
