Ignazio and Maggio Cipriani

摘要

The hospitality business is the only life Ignazio and Maggio Cipriani know. From the age of 10, the brothers grew up working every summer in the family's renowned restaurants, clubs, and event spaces around the world, learning the business hands-on, from the kitchen to the front of the house. "I spent time in the kitchen at Harry's Bar in Venice because in the beginning, I was too short to be on the floor. From there, I moved on to being the cashier, then the pasta factory, and then overseas in Hong Kong. I learned how to interact with people in different departments and [the importance of] attention to detail, which we've been able to carry with us throughout our own careers," Maggio says. Adds Ignazio: "The hospitality business is what we have been breathing since we were very young, and we grew up loving it."
