A day in San Gimignano with Filippo Bartolotta, Gianfranco Vissani and Mario Cipollini



I originally wanted to talk about Orienteering, Gourmet Team building activity outdoors, perfect for creating team spirit. Instead, we will reminisce about a day we found ourselves in San Gimignano on La7 that ran an episode of "I’ll Bring You There (Ti Ci Porto Io)" the following week. Filippo was the star as a wine expert and the episode was filmed between the towers in San Gimignano of the “Manhattan of Tuscany.” The region is best known for Vernaccia di San Gimignano wine, saffron, gold and masterpieces of art just like the masterpieces of the senses!



Along with Fillippo, Gianfranco Vissani and Michela Rocco di Torrepadula were assisted by an exceptional host, Mario Cipollini, world champion of high level cycling of Italy worldwide!
The piece was filmed starting with masterpieces of Pinacoteca di San Gimignano and continued to Piazza della Cisterna at the top of the rocky hillsides, where with jokes and lots of laughter, we enjoyed a glass of Vernaccia di San Gimignano Riserva!




The view from hills was breathtaking, all with wonderful light snow!
It's really incredible to have the opportunity to see all San Gimignano and countryside around with so much snow.
The episode was aired March 11 2012, the theme was of course Tuscany!
