Rome.- If the places of the wedding between Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, highly protected, are scattered throughout the Venice Lagoon, The banquet menu comes from southern Italy In these three days of celebrations where, between luxury, pomp and protests, there is also charity on the part of the husbands.
The dishes, according to the initial rumors, seem to come directly from the coast of Campaniawith the star chef Fabrizio Mellino, of the “Quattro Passi” restaurant in Nerano, who would be in the kitchen from day one, and the desserts of salt from Riso.
On the table, therefore, a traditional recipe of Campania is expected, transmitted from generation to generation in the Mellino family: Spaghetti to the Neranobased on fried Zucchini and provolone del Monaco. In combination, Riso salt desserts, Minori’s pastry chef, who was commissioned to prepare Mignon, cup desserts and individual portions of lemon, ricotta and pear delights.
In total, A thousand portions of desserts for the buffet. Several trays and barrels with pizza dough They were seen in Venice for the first three -day wedding party of the year. The theme: Pizza, of course. Also in this case, a chef riddle game: Names that see Ciro Oliva, the young pizzero of the historic pizzeria Concettina ai Tre Santi, in Naples, as the favorite.
Campania, however, seems to give in to other culinary traditions only for the wedding cake who should be signed by the French pastry chef Cardric Golet, famous for his flower-shaped dessert.
At the wedding of the year, the 250 most famous celebrities can try Mediterranean flavors After arriving in Venice empty -handed, as the bride and groom asked: No gifts, just charity.
In fact, Bezos and Sánchez have preferred donate three million in the name of the guests to three Venetian organizations: Corila, the Consortium for the Coordination of Research on the Lagunar System of Venice, the International University of Venice and the Unesco office in Venice.
The decision communicated directly in the wedding invitation that has been circulating in recent days: black letters in italics on white background, surrounded by decorations with pigeons, stars, feathers and butterflies, and the Rialto bridge with some gondolas.
A simple graph that has not spared criticism, especially considering the context. In fact, it is an invitation that seems to contradict the figures published by the international press: according to US media, The wedding would have a value of between 30 and 50 million dollars.
An expense that converts the charitable gesture of the Founding billionaire of Amazon and the American journalist into an almost obligatory option, even with the risk of being accused of “image washing”. The impact of the wedding on the total wealth of Bezos is, in fact, 0.0217 % – if we consider the 50 million – less than what the sugar of a capuchin would cost.
The Ministry of Tourism estimated that the “media visibility” of the event would generate 895 million euros (1 billion dollars) for the city, although it warned that this “requires empirical verification.”
