In 2010 SalumiAmo® Europe stops off in London. The campaign has been opened by a press conference at the Haymarket hotel, a beautiful boutique hotel close to Piccadilly Circus.The exceptional figure head for the campaign is Giorgio Locatelli, a Michelin-starred celebrity chef who hosts many famous stars among his clients and who was considered the most important Italian chef in England. Also the young kitchen talent Francesco Mazzei, by now well established in London, could be involved for the promotion of the campaign. The opening event was hosted at the restaurant Refettorio, one of the popular venues of Giorgio Locatelli.
