01/05/2007 - Magazine year XI - Num 2 - june/sept 2007
An eye to the past and one to the future. THI approaches the midpoint of 2007 in this spirit brimming with new expectations. If for many people thoughts are now turning to vacations, for the THI Group this summer will be a time of eager but joyful waiting.
The countdown has begun and the race is on to complete the final preparations that will bring us to the inauguration of the Bentley Hotel in Genoa on the 1st October. A historic moment that will mark the return of five-star luxury to the Ligurian capital after years of absence. And that’s not all: in Turin there is a finish line that is approaching as well, in the form of the celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the Ristorante del Cambio, a landmark in Piedmont dining.
One that is a point of honour of my family, who ran it in the early 1900s, and now of the THI company, which has managed it since 1991. The Cambio and the Bentley, yesterday and today, and THI’s tomorrow.
Never resting on its laurels, but continuing to grow.
