The faces of the Fenice: Antonella Delaini
Years of experience in managing bars and big smiles, those of Antonella, from always passionate about food management and catering. After training specific in this sector, he has never stopped being passionate and in-depth also becoming an AIS sommelier. At La Fenice she is the one who creates the ice cream cups: imagination and creativity are not lacking Antonella, always looking for new combinations and textures to alternate with softness of the artisanal Fenice ice cream, an absolutely must-have product exalt.
Antonella tells us something about herself in this short interview.
Which ice cream cup do we find at La Fenice that best represents you?
“My favorite cup that I created is the one that combines pistachio with hazelnut. At La Fenice there are no basic preparations, the ice cream is purely artisanal and for this reason the flavors are extremely genuine and authentic; because of this therefore it is interesting to create new combinations”.
Why did you choose these two traditional flavours?
“Both the pistachio and the hazelnut contain a fruit inside their shell with an elegant and refined flavour; their soft and warm colors remind me of the earth and also the country of my childhood. In fact, since I was little my mother taught me to shelling the hazelnuts that grew in our garden. From this simple and repetitive gesture I learned a great lesson: not to judge anyone because like each of us how the hazelnut appears it seems hard on the outside, but inside it contains a delicate, tasty and tasty heart”.
What does it mean to work in contact with people, especially on Lake Garda?
“I love my job and the relationship I have with La Fenice customers: they know each other many people, we chat; it’s a very dynamic job, which allows me to do a great variety of always different activities. I’m also very excited about the fact of advise and direct our customers in purchasing gifts or presents, listening to their needs and suggesting our artisan products both of our La Fenice pastry shop and the Ca’ dei Frati winery, packaging everything with care, strictly by hand”.
