OLYMPICS (Reggio Emilia, 28 February 2010) - "Razzoli has gifted us an outstanding performance, some extraordinary emotion, he has confirmed those technical and human qualities we know so well which were what led the Parmigiano-Reggiano Consortium to back him, in a sporting career which in just a short time has already been enriched by the most sought-after goal of every athlete."

Rather than with justifiable satisfaction, the President of the Parmigiano-Reggiano Consortium, Giuseppe Alai, is speaking with all the fervour of a supporter about the feat accomplished by the Villa Minozzo athlete at Vancouver.

"As sponsor of Casa Italia-Coni at the Winter Olympics," Alai continues, "over the last few days we have had so many satisfactions linked to the promotional initiatives we've dedicated to the world of distribution, Canadian catering and the worldwide media; Razzoli has brought these to a peak, and we're genuinely happy for him, because Giuliano is not only a great athlete sponsored by the Consortium, but a young man who is down-to-earth and unfaltering, who knows the hardship of work and the value of commitment, and is therefore an ideal travelling companion for our product, an interpreter of its values and the culture our producers uphold".

"After the Zagabria World Cup victory," Alai concludes, "we rejoiced with Giuliano: today we want to thank him from the bottom of our heart for what he has given to Italy, to sport in general, to a part of the Apennines at times forgotten, and to Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese which, thanks to his deeds, will become even better known and appreciated all over the world."
