A taste of Sicily during the symposium.

A taste of Sicily during the symposium. Giambattista Dagnino, one of the organizers, and Rosario Faraci, one of the panelists, are both from Sicily, one of the most beautiful and touristic islands in the world, located in the Southern Italy. The two Sicilian academics offered the attendees some "torroncini", products made by tender and soft paste with almonds and pistachios, covered of plain chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, oranges and lemons. These products are handmade manufactured by Fiasconaro brothers (see the website: http://www.fiasconaro.com/). Martino, Nicola and Fausto inherited the artisan confectionery art by their father, Mario. Then they decided to spread the ancient and new tastes in a context wider than their local territory, opening their activity to new technologies, though always respecting scrupulously the principles of the traditional artisan production and the typical Sicilian tastes. So, corporate governance and strategic management at AOM2008 has been melted with the most authentic Sicilian spirit brought by Giambattista Dagnino and Rosario Faraci.
