Australia World Chaîne Day

Bailliage of Australia
Perth, April 21, 2018

Celebrating Italian-style with joy and laughter
" Arias from well-known operas captivated us in the intimate, acoustically fine room "

On a glorious autumn day, in the courtyard of Perugino Restaurant 30 members and guests basked in warm sunshine enjoying crisp Carpene Malvoti Prosecco with canapés anticipating the long, long lunch to come.

Once seated, Bailli Thurston Saulsman greeted everyone and explained the significance of World Chaîne Day. Our host Francesco Pagliaricci guided us through the concept of the lunch as a journey through Italy via speciality foods presented with the region’s wines.

Partway through lunch we were moved to joy, laughter and tears by the exquisite voices of soprano Harriet O’Shannessy and mezzo soprano Ileana Rinaldi accompanied by Tommaso Pollio. Arias from well-known operas captivated us in the intimate, acoustically fine room.

Deliciously delicate, perfect, sublime, masterpiece, perfect finish described the food with the wines acknowledged as delightful and superbly paired. It was no surprise therefore that once the last delicious morsel was enjoyed we welcomed Chef/Owner Giuseppe Pagliaricci with warm applause expressing our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for creating an outstanding homage to World Chaîne Day.
