Our association would like to thank the chef, waiting staff, sommeliers, teachers, and students of the Vergani Hotel Management School, who provided impeccable service. We would also like to thank the Fondazione Palio città di Ferrara, partner of the event, which organized the dances performed during the intermission and the dishes, and brought the covered street to life with figures from times gone by.

We would also like to express our heartfelt thanks to our sponsors Grandi Riso, Torrefazione La Brasiliana, and Audi Grand Prix, who contributed to making this event possible.
A heartfelt thank you goes to the municipal administration of Ferrara, which made all this possible.
