T - Table
PLURES AMICOS MENSA QUAM MENS CONCIPIT
CARE FOR DETAILS Gleaming goblets, old porcelain and precious details of style: tables set with a precision and grace reminiscent of royal banquets.
DIPLOMACY AT TABLE Convinced of the diplomatic virtues of a good meal, Cavour often cited an ancient Latin motto according to which “the table attracts more friends than the mind does,” and when one of his diplomats left for a foreign capital he would make sure there were a few bottles of Barolo in his luggage. Maybe that’s why finance and politics are at home at the Cambio, where important agreements are struck over sumptuous meals.
