The Guests will have the chance to discover our beautiful country not only through its landscapes but also through our menus: from the early morning until the midnight snacks. We want to spread the Made in Italy knowledge in a new different way, showcasing the different traditions of each region so the passengers will be able to create a stronger and deeper connection with the territory.”
