The Rigodon Ballroom of The Peninsula Manila in Makati City was recently transformed into the Emerald City as the Philippine-Italian Association (PIA) celebrated its 55th year.

Led by PIA president and Rustan Commercial Corp. chairman and CEO Nedy Tantoco, and outgoing Italian Ambassador Massimo Roscigno and his wife Agnes, the association commemorated its emerald anniversary through a silent auction led by your columnist.

At the end of the night, many members of the diplomatic and business communities won exciting prizes. A truly wonderful evening was had by all.

Congratulations to the Philippine-Italian Association for 55 years, and here’s to many more!

A celebration of friendship

A delightful evening was had by all!
