The Story to live together
Early 1800s. The Marchioness Busca Arconati Visconti, born Serbelloni, hosts the nobility in her country house in Gorgonzola. The Marchioness will organise a sumptuous lunch for her distinguished friends, to show them that the “Gorgonzola” is not a cheese for the poor, but is also worthy to be served at the tables of nobles. Ginevra, the Serbelloni’s housekeeper, is selecting the team that will help her organize the taste with the best Gorgonzola.
And you, will you be part of the team? Ginevra is waiting for you for tastings.
