The Italy-America Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce the commitment of “Zonin 1821” as a Gold Sponsor at “The Best of Italy Gala Night”.

With its close ties to the land for the past seven generations, the Zonin family heads the largest private vine growing and winemaking company in Italy.

Domenico Zonin, CEO of ZONIN 1821, since 2014, took over from his father Gianni Zonin, who has run the Company since 1967 for forty years, transforming it from a local dimension to being one of Italy’s most important wine producers and an established, well- known brand all over the world.

The heart of the company is located in Gambellara, in the province of Vicenza, an oasis of lush green hills, meticulously arranged vineyards, and also the ancestral home of the Zonin family.

The wooden wine press, located at the entrance hall of the Zonin’s headquarters in Gambellara, dates back to the beginning of the 19th century. In fact, the construction of wine presses, the way they work, and the system they use for pressing the grapes have essentially remained unchanged since early Roman times.

Zonin will bring their admirable excellence to “The Best of Italy Gala Night” as they will be the providers of Prosecco during the cocktail reception that will take place inside the Historic Alfred Dupont Building in the North Ballroom from 6 to 8pm.

The Italy-America Chamber of Commerce is honored to announce the commitment of “Hitachi Rail USA” as a Silver Sponsor at “The Best of Italy Gala Night”.

Hitachi Rail USA has a wide range of products, ranging from high speed to driverless metros. On March 2016 the company announced the completion of a manufacturing facility for Miami-Dade County’s Department of Transportation and Public Works’ new Metrorail vehicles; a project originally initiated by AnsaldoBreda S.p.A, the most important Italian rail transport engineering company, which was sold in 2015 to Hitachi Rail USA, changing its name to Hitachi Rail Italy.

The 140,400 square-feet plant, located in Medley, FL., manufacture 136 cars and 272 motor bogies needed to replace the County’s Metrorail fleet. The Miami-Dade Department of Transportation and Public Works contracted the production to Hitachi Rail.

The assembly of the Metrorail vehicles began last March, and the first completed vehicles will begin the qualification-testing phase by the end of the year. The first new Metrorail vehicles will be put into service in late 2017.

During the street exhibit on the night of the event, Hitachi Rail USA will display on Flagler Street a preview of the Miami Metrorail cars that will be put into service in 2017. This is a one-time opportunity for participants to take a peak to Miami’s years to come.

We are constantly asked “What is the best neighborhood to live in Miami?” Of course this depends on your lifestyle and needs. A recent poll which interviewed 100 of Miami’s best agents concluded that the best home market for families was Coral Gables followed by Pinecrest and then Coconut Grove. The best neighborhood for retirees and snowbirds was said to be Miami Beach.

What was voted as the most important elements in a purchase? It was ‘walkability‘ and ‘schools‘. In reality though I can tell you that many of my clients over the years have seen things differently, and have different priorities to one another – as you might expect. We also notice that neighborhood markets move in popularity over the years – some can become more expensive in comparison to others and so become less desirable, while the cheaper but equally attractive neighborhoods become more desirable. Some neighborhoods are going through a renaissance and become ‘in vogue’ with the delivery of new shops and services and other neighborhoods can become overly saturated and may be heading for periods of ‘price adjustment’ at certain price points and levels.

Aside from what you can afford we have extensive knowledge of schools and service development. We also understand the all important movements of the market and one of the most important pieces of information you can pay attention to especially if you are buying a property that your focus is on ‘appreciative value’ and buying a home or Condo that will go up or at least not go down in value, is determined by months of inventory.
