Travel creates unforgettable memories in our lives, and is an idyllic getaway to experience life at its best. \u201cThis has been a true labor of love and creativity\u201d said Christine Cunanan, the non-stop force publisher of Travelife, at the recent celebration, \u2018Travelife Italy Night\u2019. Themed with a nine-course Italian degustation dinner by innovative chef Margarita Fores, the glossy magazine celebrated its fourth anniversary with a panoramic light and sound show. Organized with Italian Ambassador and Madame Luca Fornari, the Embassy of Italy, Bacchus Epicerie, HSBC, Cibo di M, Fiori di M, Travelife Italy Night, the event was a huge success. What an entrance it was, as we viewed the sleekest, apple color red Ferrari, a Maserati and 12 vintage Vespas. Multi talented Travelife Managing Editor Adrian Carlo Velasco showed us the iconic cars on display which had set off the la dolce<\/em> vita <\/em>mood. The sumptuous dinner by Chef Gaita and the simultaneous panoramic screens projecting the famous sites, earned raves that night. The evening\u2019s notables included former Philippine President Fidel Ramos, former Speaker Jose de Venecia, Pinky Aquino Abellada and Viel Aquino Dee, sisters of President Benigno Aquino<\/p>\n
