🇮🇹 A HISTORIC FIRST FOR CHARLOTTE! 🇺🇸

The 3rd Italian Business Networking Conference, organized by Biesse, brought together in Charlotte, for the first time, so many Italian companies and leaders from across the Carolinas.

We were deeply honored to welcome His Excellency Marco Peronaci, Ambassador of Italy to the United States, the Honorable Nico Frandi, Consul General of Italy, and Honorary Consul Valentina Cecchi for a day celebrating the extraordinary relationship between Italy and the Carolinas — innovation, investment, culture, and people.

Opera Carolina’s Artistic Director, Claudio Ferri, welcomed the participating companies and had the honor of introducing the musical program, bringing Opera Carolina’s voice to this extraordinary celebration of Italian excellence. Fan Yang then captivated the audience with a beautiful Puccini’s “O mio babbino caro.”

Thank you to Biesse America and Federico Broccoli for making this important gathering possible.

And a very special thank you to Monica Boccia, General Counsel at Biesse America and a treasured member of the Opera Carolina Board. Monica, you created something truly unprecedented for Charlotte — bringing business, diplomacy, community, and culture together under one roof.

What an honor. What a day. Viva l’Italia, and viva the growing friendship between Italy and the Carolinas! 🇮🇹🇺🇸
