The Italy Australia Business Bridge is the Milan leg of My Most Trusted, hosted by Alessio Rinaldo. A warm introduction is the only way to meet someone here. No bots, no spam, no cold outreach.
ponte. In Italian, a bridge. It only stands if it is built on both banks.
A ponte is not a road that happens to cross water, it is a structure that needs solid ground at both ends before anyone can walk over it. Between Italy and Australia the distance was never the difficulty, the difficulty is that most people only ever have footing on one side.
Every club has an idea like this one, and it belongs to the place rather than to us. It is not a slogan we handed out.
Alessio Rinaldo hosts the Italian side of the Bridge from Milan. He runs banqueting at the PwC Tower with Pellegrini S.p.A., and is a member of the Associazione Italiana Sommelier. His working life sits where Italian business and Italian hospitality meet, which in Milan is where a great deal of business actually gets done, over a table rather than across one.
Alessio Rinaldo is a real person in Milan, not a logo. That is the point. Somebody has to know both people for an introduction to be worth anything.
