"Giuseppe D'Aquino, with his professionalism and his recognized talent - says the director of the Villa Cordevigo Wine Relais & Spa, Lorenza Delibori , representing the Cristoforetti and Delibori families, owners of the structure - was fundamental for the path we have undertaken in November 2010, which materialized with the Michelin star in 2013, we wish him the best of luck for the new commitment that, we are sure, will allow him to achieve further important goals in his tireless research path. He would like to thank the owners and all the staff. Marco Marras is the ideal person and the perfect professional to succeed him, also because of the dense exchange of experiences that he has cultivated alongside Giuseppe ".

“In preparing for a new professional challenge - says Giuseppe D'Aquino - I thank the Cristoforetti and Delibori families for the trust they have placed in me during these ten years of intense activity in Villa Cordevigo and Oseleta . I am happy to have contributed to bringing this reality to the top of Veronese hospitality and catering. A heartfelt thanks also to all the guests and friends who contributed to making what seemed a dream come true and, from the heart, to Verona, who welcomed me and still welcomes me with great affection. Best wishes to Marco, of course he will do well ”.

Head of the match at Oseleta since 2017 and then second by Giuseppe D'Aquino since 2019 , thirty-two year old Marco Marras, originally from Bosa, Sardinia, a pupil of the local Hotel Institute, started working in the kitchens at sixteen at the Cala hotel di Volpe in Porto Cervo, to then continue to Madonna di Campiglio, Geneva, Portofino, Elba, Miami, Hawaii and Puglia, up to the landing in Veronese. From 18 June the Bistrot Cordevigo, with its airy outdoor area overlooking the vineyards and the swimming pool, will be the space where it will present its idea of cooking.

“The decision to immediately open the Cordevigo Bistro, postponing the reactivation of the Oseleta - explains Lorenza Delibori - responds to the need to guarantee the availability of a very large open air area, in which hotel guests and customers who want find our restaurant offer will feel comfortable and totally relaxed in this post lockdown phase. Oseleta will return to enrich our proposal as soon as conditions become more favorable ".
