Indeed we are. We feel like those who first transformed postal stations into petrol stations one hundred years ago»
Exactly twelve months have passed since the first online edition of Guida ai Ristoranti d’Italia, Europa e Mondo di Identità Golose and today it’s time to present the second one. It’s the tenth edition overall, 8 “in paper” and 2 online. The guide can be browsed entirely online, for free. An important choice which one year later we vindicate and relaunch. «Many people», says Paolo Marchi in “Digitali e felici” [Digital and Happy], the brand new introduction to the 2017 Guide, sharing the idea of partner Claudio Ceroni of Magentabureau, «ask us if we’re happy with the choice made on the eve of Expo Milano 2015. We are indeed. We feel like those who one hundred years ago first transformed their postal stations into petrol stations». Right after that, an important concept: «It’s not just a question of correcting typos, fixing the content written under the wrong establishment, revising a misspelled name. There’s much more, even in terms of reviews. You can add one and remove two when necessary, you can fix the text on the go. An online guide never ages and this has changed the way in which we all work and think... It really is something completely different, a way of acting in line with the times, a more journalistic and complete approach. We love it immensely. We also love it because we were the first in Italy to make this great leap from rotary to virtual press and we surely are the very first in the world». Finally, «we liked 2016 very much because it follows a 2015 characterised by Expo in Milan, by a year dominated in Italy by a strong attraction to food in every shape. After 6 months of World Fair we could have witnessed a decreased in the general interest. But this was not the case. People are more aware of restaurants, sustainability and health».
