After a flying visit to the Michelin-starred kitchen of the hotel and to the place of Italian tailoring worthiest of the prince, under the centuries-old tree which offers its shade to the Garden, the table is laid and the dinner is ready... The secret recipe will convert the cosmopolitan young lady, spoilt by the most cliched frivolous luxuries, to the refined pleasure offered by the Italian lifestyle, that the whole world seeks and envies: CHEERS!!
