“We are honestly thrilled about this award. Building a world-class team has always been our first priority, since the beginning. And we have invested a lot in this direction. – Natale Palmieri and Alfonso Califano, the two pillars of the “Cinquanta – Spirito Italiano” project, stated in unison - Hospitality only works when people are at the center. And to do that, having a valid team is the only thing you really need. It has been a great growth path as a group, both for each individual element and as a team. However, we are only at the beginning and we want to continue like this. Thanks also go to all that part of the extended team, who do not work with us in service but who help us support and sustain this project: the suppliers, the design and communication team, the event organization. And obviously a huge thank you goes to the entire community that supports the “Cinquanta” project on a daily basis by becoming part of our family. Thank you”.
