Christmas at the Cilento lounge

The good and the beautiful of Campania at the Salotto Cilento for the traditional Christmas party

On display the iron and copper angels of the boys of the Rione Sanità.
Friday 2 December at 6.00 pm
Christmas at the Salotto Cilento: between special flavors, great wines, elegance and solidarity. Friday 2 December - from 6pm to 9.30pm - Martino and Ugo Cilento invite their friends to the traditional pre-Christmas appointment which this year will have as special guests the young artisans of Iron Angels, the cooperative of artists and artisans of the Rione Sanità who work iron and metal giving shape to small and large angels to decorate Christmas. They are poetic creations, made by hand by patiently and delicately cutting and sewing thin sheets of copper and iron according to the teachings of the master Riccardo Dalisi: musical angels, hieratic, joyful, with golden curls and large wings.
In a festive atmosphere, under a large Christmas tree, the gastronomic specialties of La Tradizione di Vico Equense by Salvatore and Annamaria Di Gennaro, with the participation of Pasquale Torrente from Il Convento di Cetara, will be the protagonists alongside prestigious bubbles and great wines , with the artisanal panettone of the Dolceria dell'Antico Portico in Amalfi.

Gastronomy, elegance and commitment: these are the ingredients of the evening that closes the cycle of meetings at the Salotto in 2011.

<2011 was a year full of meetings and illustrious guests, from Gennaro Esposito of the Torre del Saracino to Eugenio Alphandery of the historic Florentine pharmaceutical workshop Santa Maria Novella, without forgetting Otto Mantero of the Carlo Riva company. With the Christmas party I wanted to give space to those who work in silence, away from the limelight: to the guys of Iron Angels and their production, yet another sign of the great creativity that distinguishes our city. They represent the industrious and healthy face of one of the oldest and most at risk districts of Naples. Our commitment to them is a duty if we want to give our city new chances>, comments Ugo Cilento.

The evening will be accompanied by wines from Cantine A Casa: Falanghina, Trill rosé, Taurasi and "Sette Pieghe", the limited edition blend of Aglianico and Piedirosso made by A Casa cellars exclusively for the Maison Cilento 1780. guests an original cadeau designed by the architect Sante Castaldo in collaboration with Elena Naddeo and Teresa Vittoria della Millegradi + 1.

THE CILENTO LIVING ROOM.
The constant search for the highest quality; love for beauty and goodness in respect of ancient craft traditions: this is the philosophy of the maison M.Cilento 1780 by Ugo Cilento, the eighth generation of a family dedicated to the research and enhancement of Italian and Neapolitan excellence. Salotto Cilento was born as a cultural extension of the historic shop in via Medina: on the first floor of Palazzo Giordano, it is a private space, home to the historical archives of the maison and an almost museum collection of the old tailor's shop, where in an informal and friend, we meet periodically to discuss style, culture and elegance.
