It will seem curious but we of La Cucina Italiana went to Valencia. For the accuracy to the last note of the World Motorcycle on the circuit Ricardo Tormo. We were there to prepare the dinner that Aprilia traditionally offers its guests in the paddock (from Italians, food first of all). A special dinner since it is dyed red at least virtually like the hulls and the look of pilots and mechanics during the grand prix. Rosso come (RED), the non-profit organization founded by Bono Vox of U2 to fight the aids transmitted from mother to child.
For those who watched the Grand Prix, in addition to the pouring rain, today will have seen that all the sponsors have renounced the exposure of their brands for support this good cause.

But back to dinner, "a union of two Italian excellences" commented Davide Zanolini, Piaggio Group Executive Vice President of Marketing & Communication, associating Aprilia with La Cucina Italiana (thank you!). We called the bravo at the stove Marco Colleoni, the cook who collaborates with the pages of our newspaper and with the School of Italian Cuisine. In the few square meters of the Aprilia paddock together with the team's boys, he prepared a tomato risotto (RED!) With the squid, an umbrella with ratatouille, without missing either an appetizer or a dessert.

We also discovered an excellent ice cream parlor called La Romana, present throughout Italy (also in Spain and Germany) that has a fixed cart in the Aprilia paddock. So delicious that even the drivers of other teams come to take a cup (Valentino Rossi if he does bring). A taste for all: the zabaione.

Ps: unfortunately, today Aprilia was not very lucky on the track but for sure the Italian team won the championship in terms of generosity! Come on guys.
