NEW YORK, NY – February 28, 2017 – A delegation from Piemonte, Northern Italy visited New York City today to present exclusive experiences found only in Piemonte to an audience of key media from the travel, food, fashion and sport sectors. Hosted at the Italian Consulate, the presenters’ talking points ranged from tourism trends, fine wines, fine wines, rare cheeses, tasty truffles, high fashion and football fandom.

After an official welcome from Italian Consul General Francesco Genuardi, Piemonte Tourism Manager Maria Elena Rossi took the stage to highlight the tourism trends happening in her region. Central to her message was that U.S. visitors to Piemonte are at an all time high, with a reported 270,000 arrivals from America in 2015. On another note, her presentation highlighted Piemonte’s exclusive experiences in the worlds of fashion, food and high-end tours.

Presenting about one of Piemonte’s famous foods was Mauro Carbone, Supervisor of the National Centre for the Study of Truffles. Carbone officially announced two exclusive dining experiences that will take place during the 87th International White Truffle Fair of Alba called “Ultimate Truffle Dinner”.

This new dining experience will feature Michelin-starred chefs Ugo Alciati and Flavio Costa who will pair the White Truffle of Alba with unique elements of international cuisine including: oysters, Kobe beef veal, caviar, foie gras, Champagne and Barolo wine for dinner guests on October 25th and November 20th. The proceeds of these prestigious events will go towards the “Breathe the Truffle” project— the first crowdfunding campaign to protect the natural environment of the White Truffle of Alba.

Also in attendance was Juventus Stadium and Museum Curator, Marco Albano. Making the list of Top 50 Museums in Italy, Juventus opened with the sole mission of compiling 120+ years of Bianconeri soccer history and triumphs into one unique and innovative exhibition of trophies and memorabilia. Since opening in 2012, Juventus Museum has seen more than 700,000 visitors making it a mainstay of Piemonte tourism attractions.

Stefano Mosca, director of the Biella Tourist Board since 1998, presented a new shopping tour experience called “In Biella Factory Stores”. As Biella is the undisputed leader in the manufacturing sector of high end textile products, Stefano and his teamknew the new tour would be an all access pass to this fashion world—from visits to cashmere wool mills to unprecedented factory outlet shopping—the “In Biella Factory Stores” new tour will give fashion aficionados exactly what they came for.

Summarizing the event, Ms. Maria Elena Rossi, said, ”We’re proud to make our debut in New York today and raise the profile of our region on the world’s stage: New York City. We’re honored to host this group of top media from all sectors—from food & wine to sport & fashion. Through this visit to New York, it is our aim that more U.S. travelers would visit Piemonte and enjoy our ‘Italian Lifestyle in Authentic Piemonte’.

His mission is to break the shield of darkness covering human consciousness today and kindle the light of Dharma in all aspects of life. He has come to harmonize the troubled energies of Nature, to prompt the evolution of human consciousness, and to establish Divine life on Earth.

You will have a chance to experience the light of Sri Tathata during his historic first visit to New York at a free event:

SeniorNet Shares its Operational Model and Latest Microsoft Workshop with Chinese Delegation

New SeniorNet Headquarters Opens in Florida

The SeniorNet Learning Center in San Jose Willows, Calif. recently welcomed a delegation of 14 dignitaries from various regions in China to provide insight into how SeniorNet has become so successful and to share its operational and educational protocols. The visitors were management representatives for the Committees on Aging in China from the national level and throughout 12 provinces and municipalities.

The delegation, which attended a Microsoft Windows 8 workshop, saw firsthand how class content and curriculum is developed using surveys of intended students, as well as SeniorNet’s extensive use of volunteers in the teaching process. Drawing on local resources such as tech company retirees, community facilities and donated equipment, SeniorNet minimizes its need to conduct massive fundraising activities that strain limited resources by partnering with major corporations such as Microsoft, IBM, Google, Que Publishing and others who help fulfill its mission.

Ms. Li Shumei, Deputy Director, Heilongjiang Provincial Committee on Aging said SeniorNet has, “a very good self-support education model without relying on budget and tendency of bureaucratic management. Such a model would help the still developing China develop more educations centers alike. It is a valuable example.”

This was an enlightening new business model for SeniorNet’s Chinese counterparts. The delegation was eager to return to China and put what they learned into practice for the senior citizens in their home country.

Leslie M. Smith, IBM Business Development Executive (retired) and SeniorNet Chairman of the Board said, “We were just delighted to host the Chinese delegation and share our knowledge. Computers skills are crucial to social connections for seniors and the hope that this will connect more people outside the U.S. is the best New Year’s gift we could get.”
