 Ordine
della Stella della Solidarietà Italiana,
translated into a bland ‘Knight of Italian Republic’
was awarded to him on October 10, 2007, by H.E. Vice
President of Italian Council of Government Ministers,
Minister of External affairs, Mr. Giorgio D’Alema
in Delhi.
The ‘humbled, but pleased by such unexpected
recognition of my commitment for the last 15 years in
India’ Nataloni is a very happy man and could
not contain his pleasure when I called to congratulate
him.
Always a hands-on manager, he was shopping early Saturday
morning at Ghaffar market, sourcing for the wine glasses
he wants to use at the Sopexa sponsored wine promotion
starting on October 15.
The Italian cuisine restaurant in the Defence Colony
Community Center in the Moolchand Complex caters to
young-to not-so young crowd who relish Italian cuisine
in an informal atmosphere. The decade old eatery has
stepped up its efforts to encourage more people to drink
wine-preferably Italian. His 60-odd label list is filled
with two-thirds of Italian wines some of which are exotic.
Many value for money wine nuggets can be found in his
list  by
a knowledgeable connoisseur.
Sopexa is trying to change the face of the list by
encouraging him to add more French wines which are a
distant second in his list.
Nataloni, born in Puglia is more Indian than Italian.
‘I feel motivated to do a lot more and better
in future,’ he added. He is married to an Indian
who has 'really educated me a lot’ admits Tarsillo.
DelWine congratulates him and wishes him well in promoting
Italian gastronomy.
