Amaro del Ciclista is a liqueur with a strong, distinctive personality, born from an old tradition within the Casoni family, whereby a small glass of bitter was offered as an invigorating drink after a long ride.
It all stems from the story of a great-grandfather who told his great-grandson about when, with nothing more than his bicycle, he would climb from the plain to the hill of Modena to go and see a beautiful girl who later became his wife. “After a 120-kilometre bike ride, almost all uphill, my reward was certainly the expression on Maria's face, but also that excellent amaro that her father offered me together with an egg and sugar!" The Casoni family has preserved that particular amaro recipe and now offers it with pride to those people who tenaciously pursue their goals without fear of fatigue: a full rounded amaro with an unmistakable taste of herbs.
A full-bodied and rounded bitter thanks to the skilful blend of 15 herbs and a complex distillation process, capable of giving unique satisfaction and creating moments of authentic and unforgettable conviviality.
For its preparation, herbs and other plant parts are ground and steeped in a hydroalcoholic infusion for about 30 days. During this period, the infusion is constantly checked, pumped over to ensure the maximum extraction of aromatic components and then put in a special decanting tank where the mixture is left to stand for at least another 30 days. After this period, the liquid is filtered and left to stand for a further 30 days to age and balance the aromatic components extracted from the plants. All raw materials, the main components of the amaro, are dosed and mixed in special stainless steel mixers and then rigorously controlled in terms of their organoleptics. After this phase, the liqueur is left to stand for another 30 days and then filtered further. After the first filtration, the amaro is left to stand for another 30 days to complete refining then it is re-filtered and undergoes polishing. Thus the last check of taste and quality takes place, which is followed by bottling of a product that has the power to create moments of authentic and unforgettable conviviality. The story that the concept of the Amaro del Ciclista was born out of is certainly not original, but it is undoubtedly authentic: the story of a great-grandfather who told his great-grandson about when, with nothing more than his bicycle, he would climb from the plain to the hill of Modena to go and see a beautiful girl who later became his wife. “After a 120-kilometre bike ride, almost all uphill, my reward was certainly the expression on Maria's face, but also that excellent amaro that her father offered me together with an egg and sugar!" The Casoni family has preserved that particular amaro recipe and now offers it with pride to those people who tenaciously pursue their goals without fear of fatigue: a full rounded amaro with an unmistakable taste of herbs.
Casoni, one of Italy's oldest distilleries and liqueur factories established 1814, has handed down its know-how from generation to generation, maintaining an innate passion for the production of liqueurs and spirits blended with a love for our region. Actually, Casoni has always been in Finale Emilia, Modena, the town that has witnessed this business grow in over 200 years of its history.
All Casoni distilled spirits and liqueurs are born from a passion for Italian tradition and from its constant focus on the latest consumer trends and market innovations. Casoni is a cocktail of experience and innovation, offering a full range of artisan liqueurs capable to satisfy the tastes of the most diverse and demanding customers. Tradition and deep expertise are the key factors in the success of Casoni liqueurs, factors that have contributed to the life of its countless successful liqueurs throughout its history. The creation of completely natural products resulting from infusions and distillations of local herbs and fruits has always been a top priority for the company. An added value for the end customer who can taste a genuine natural liqueur.

Tavernello is the traditional Italian wine produced by Italy's largest wine-producing chain. Its strength has always been its thousands of Caviro wine-growing members, spread all over the country, who cultivate an area corresponding to almost 9% of the total vineyard land in Italy.
From north to south, crossing the regions with the greatest wine-making tradition, such as Emilia-Romagna, Puglia, Abruzzo and Sicily, Tavernello has been a success for over 35 years.
With Tavernello Frizzante, Caviro breaks away from the traditional logic of local grape varieties to give a new interpretation to the sparkling wine segment. The careful selection of raw materials by the partners, combined with the great experience of the oenologists, has resulted in two fresh and delicate semi-sparkling wines with a moderate alcohol content, much appreciated by consumers, who have immediately decreed their success.

At the end of the video there is the painting The origin of the world, which signifies a "revolution" in the artistic field just as the train was in the industrial one.
On September 5, the video receives the "Special Italy Award" delivered to director Swan at the Future Film Festival — For the successful collage of various techniques of the past integrated with modern ones: forced perspective, reconstructed sets, scale models on real landscapes and scale models on synthetic landscapes integrate with green screen and tracking, 2D animation and compositing. A technology subservient to meaning, which gives the video a great creative and poetic value.

A long artistic career has taken Luciano Pavarotti to the stages of the most prestigious theatres in Italy and around the world. An uninterrupted activity and total dedication to his work have transformed Modena's most famous tenor into an ambassador of Bel Canto and Italian culture throughout the world.
Music has been Maestro Pavarotti's most cherished passion and obsession for over forty years and he has managed to change the face of opera forever. The Maestro has brought opera to endless audiences, not only of opera lovers, and has opened the doors of traditional theatres to a vast new audience.
He has made countless appearances on television, performed in open-air concerts, stadiums and arenas: an eclectic career that has touched very different chords in the world of music. This success was due to two fundamental elements: firstly, her extraordinarily powerful voice with its wonderfully unique timbre, and secondly, the exceptional nature of her great and radiant personality.
He had a voice that was ringing in the high notes and rich in the middle, with clear phrasing and a limpid timbre.
He is one of the ten greatest tenors of all time, and one of the greatest exponents of opera. Together with Carlo Bergonzi, Enrico Caruso, Franco Corelli, Mario Del Monaco, Giuseppe Di Stefano, Beniamino Gigli and Tito Schipa, he remains one of the "historic" Italian tenors of world renown With Pavarotti & Friends and his numerous collaborations, among which the formation of the Three Tenors group with Plácido Domingo and José Carreras, he has consolidated a popularity that has given him worldwide fame even outside the musical sphere. With more than 100 million copies sold worldwide, he is estimated to be, also in terms of sales, among the top singers of every musical genre, as well as the most successful Italian singer internationally.
Luciano Pavarotti has been awarded an extraordinary number of international honours and received an equally remarkable number of awards.
