Imagine an evening dinner with the Minister of Agriculture Francesco Lollobrigida, culminating in receiving a prestigious award for expertise and skill in cooking Italian products. The award was received by the Michelin-starred Luigi Salomone, executive chef of the restaurant ‘Re, Santi e Leoni’ in Nola and ‘Villa Re, Santi e Leoni’ in Palma Campania. The occasion was a dinner organized by the mayor of Palma Campania, Nello Donnarumma, attended by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Edmondo Cerielli, former Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano, gourmet lawyer Sergio Sbarra, and Rosario Lopa, a member of the Agriculture and Tourism Council. ‘This award,’ says Luigi Salomone, Michelin-starred chef and executive of the restaurant ‘Re, Santi e Leoni’ in Nola, ‘makes me very happy. Receiving recognition from Minister Francesco Lollobrigida honors me and makes me understand that my team and I are working well. Clearly, the award received from the Minister of Agriculture,’ concludes Salomone, ‘represents a starting point and not an end.’ Words of appreciation for the chef also came from Lucio Giordano, patron of Re, Santi e Leoni. ‘I am truly happy for this recognition for our chef. These are the evenings,’ concludes Lucio Giordano, a well-known entrepreneur in the food and wine sector and, among other things, also the patron of Crazy Pizza Napoli and Crazy Pizza Torino, ‘that make me understand that we are right to strive for excellence,’ not before thanking the mayor Nello Donnarumma. The government is committed to supporting Italian cuisine’s candidacy as UNESCO heritage.
