Arthur Furia Shutts & Bowen Partner in Corporate/International Business practice resident in Miami office and Antonello Corrado, Senior Partner of EXP Legal – Rome and Milan, are engaged again in the continuous collaboration between the two ILN Member firms, for the implementation of bilateral business opportunities between Florida and Italy.
The new opportunity is their co-organization, together with Gambero Rosso Foundation, NIAF, Swire Properties, and the Beacon Council, of the March 12 Global Miami Health, Nutrition Conference, celebrating the United States’ support and participation in the 2015 World’s Fair.
Perfectly tuned with the Milan EXPO 2015 theme, Miami-Dade College will host a day-long forum to explore America’s relationship with the “Old World”, and how the food, health and identity of people on both sides of the Atlantic have and continue to evolve in a parallel yet inseparable process. Shared modern day concerns faced by our society and their interrelationship with nutrition and sustainable development will guide the discussions and attempt to shed light in long-term solutions.
Arthur Furia’s and Antonello Corrado’s aim is to contribute – thanks to the esteem they are granted in the respective countries and their long lasting involvement in the cross border relationship between Florida and Italy -, to the success of the Conference that, focusing on the theme of the Milan EXPO 2015, will gather for one day, in the same venue, outstanding representatives of the two countries and cultures.

Nutrition of the Planet, health and quality of food is a cultural and political meeting point opportunity for America, a melting pot of cultures, each with its own nutrition and culinary heritage and the Old World, that built the foundation of quality nutrition, to discuss the topic from two different, but largely converging points of view.

Reeker United States Consul General in Milan, Ambassador Giovanni Castellaneta, Former Ambassador of Italy to the United States, Piero Galli, Director, Event & Entertainment for Expo 2015 Milano, Ambassador Douglas Hickey, Commissioner General –USA Pavilion at Expo Milano 2015, Giovanni Fava, Commissioner of Agriculture of the Lombardy Region, Professor Sergio Pecorelli, Provost of the University of Brescia and President of Agenzia
