Cipriani ready to invest in the "Nido del Falco"

The intentions formalized at the State Congress

 

Cipriani Group International presented a letter of intent to the State Congress of the Republic of San Marino announcing the company's willingness to invest in the restructuring and management of the Nido del Falco.

The Minister of Tourism Federico Pedini Amati and the Italian entrepreneur Giuseppe Cipriani met with the press to officially communicate it.

The letter of intent has given start to the procedure that could lead, within a few months, to the green light for the concession of the Nido del Falco structure to Cipriani Group International, a multinational catering and hospitality company born in Venice from the intuition of the great Giuseppe, father of the famous Arrigo, and grandfather of the current CEO Giuseppe, which today is present in ten countries with over 37 structures including restaurants, lounges, discos and hotels.

If the formally launched process is successful, as the San Marino institutions and the entrepreneur himself wish, Nido del Falco will be the next Cipriani Restaurant.
The Minister of Tourism recalled how the "Cipriani" brand is synonymous with excellence, style, elegance, luxury and quality: "Our land - explained Pedini Amati - has always been known for hospitality, respect for tourists and visitors, for its history and tradition and at the same time for the propensity for innovation but in recent years it has failed to be attractive to companies with an international vocation and has failed to develop the necessary synergies in order to attract globally recognized brands and entrepreneurs capable of raising their reputation. This historical moment - he continued - tells us that we need real investments, made by serious people, by entrepreneurs of high moral caliber and indisputable competence. Like Giuseppe Cipriani. Our Old Town, despite the harsh blow inflicted on world tourism by the pandemic emergency, today returns to welcoming Italian and foreign tourists and visitors, millions of people who reach San Marino and to whom we have the obligation to guarantee ever new facilities, a welcome that is increasingly aligned with the times and new experiences to live. Food and wine and catering - concluded Minister Federico Pedini Amati - are today a fundamental asset of tourism and we have the great opportunity to develop it by relying on the best and entrusting them with the most beautiful and prestigious restaurant in our territory, a structure which in its fullest glory was known throughout Italy, which has hosted Heads of State, entrepreneurs, sportsmen, politicians, actors and artists and whose vicissitudes, however, known to all, have led it over the years to lose the conquered appeal. Il Nido del Falco was and will be famous again in the same way as our monuments ”.

"Our company - explained Giuseppe Cipriani - has offices all over the world and our main investments are precisely those in hospitality and more specifically, catering sectors. Values and assets that we share with the Republic of San Marino, a small nation for which my and my family's esteem grows day by day, hand in hand with the attendance of this wonderful territory, its institutions and its inhabitants who make it hospitable and welcoming. Our group was born from the intuition of a man, Giuseppe, my grandfather and even today, as a global reality, the values that guided our pioneer guide our choices. Today we let ourselves be guided here. In the Republic of San Marino where, by now we can no longer deny it, our company is ready to invest. The respect and attention with which the San Marino institutions have welcomed our company - concluded Cipriani - and the enthusiasm with which we have been involved in projects of great importance by the Minister of Tourism Federico Pedini Amati make us assume that the path towards a new entrepreneurial challenge, here in San Marino, is particularly easy. On our part, great availability, respect and maximum collaboration ".
The press conference was preceded by an inspection of the structure during which Giuseppe Cipriani was accompanied by Architect Bonan and his consultants, while at the end of the Conference, presented by the Minister of Tourism Federico Pedini Amati, the entrepreneur was received in private audience by the Captains Regent His Excellency Giancarlo Venturini and His Excellency Marco Nicolini.
