A few days before the start of EXPO 2015, Bertolotto completed the supply of 25 doors for the five magnificent luxury suites of Villa Lario Relais****** in Mandello on the shore of Lake Como.
Dating back to the early 1900s, the relais is set in extensive grounds and offers a uniquely evocative view of the Lecco branch of the lake brought to fame by Alessandro Manzoni.
In partnership with the architects responsible for the remodelling of the villa, the Piedmont-based company produced special editions of all the models used, including the soundproofed doors from the Fashion collection with NCS gloss lacquered CL leaf, automatic closing mechanism, anti-panic lock and TSOR frame in Canaletto walnut, which were customised to suit the style of a hugely appealing historic residence.
The Relais is also a base for Euro Toques International, an association for European chefs who have won quality stars, which is headquartered in Brussels, and approved and recognised by the European Union.
The association's Honorary President and Founder in Italy is Gualtiero Marchesi, and its current President is Enrico Derflingher.
To coincide with Expo 2015, the villa will host 12 top Euro Toques events, which will be attended by heads of state, members of royal families from all over the world and other VIPs.
