Oro Rosso

Ninety-nine, like the castles from which, in the 13th century, the people arrived to form the future city of L’Aquila; Ninety-nine like the churches and squares traditionally attributed to the city.
ORGOGLIO AQUILANO, through the creation of NOVANTANOVE S.p.A. proposes to carry out an ambitious project: the precious Navelli saffron (our red gold), all over the world! 99 restaurants in Italy and around the world, all inspired by the famous ‘Fountain of the 99 Cannelle’, the symbolic monument of our town, with its stone masks all different from each other and symbolising the lords who helped found the town. Each restaurant will reproduce one of the fountain’s masks, representing the L’Aquila tradition, thus proudly carrying on its history. Starting from water, the source of life, starting from a mysterious and symbolic monument such as the fountain of the 99 Cannelle at the Rivera, we want to seek out and select the excellence of typical L’Aquila and Italian products, simple and genuine, to make them known throughout the world.
