He played a central role in the several speeches of the event and also spoke as Ambassador of coffee to support even more a collaboration between Trieste and Napoli, strongly wanted by Franco Bazzara, the president of the Trieste company, since both are cities symbol of coffee. A metaphor to put under the spotlight the several realities of this sector throughout Italy and support the importance of working as a team to reach the goal of UNESCO and promote the coffee ritual as an Italian symbol in the world.
The President of Borbone, with a brilliant speech, states, “in the perspective of sustainability the key is to listen more to the customer, who is already very aware. Consumers who must be seen as an input for a virtuous race among the different production systems and that with their choices repays the companies that work more to make production systems more efficient, that use more the renewable energies and promote a continuous fight against waste”.
