Dear Parents,
Our M5 students are about to embark on an extraordinary journey to Modena, exploring two worlds that epitomize Italian mastery and creativity: motors and cuisine.
The day begins at Pagani Automobili, where students will uncover the secrets behind the design, engineering, and business philosophy of a brand that has become a global icon of performance and innovation. Here, technology meets artistry in every detail, and students will witness firsthand how vision and precision create masterpieces of engineering.
This visit inspires students to see how creativity and rigorous problem-solving come together to push the boundaries of what is possible.
The journey continues at Acetaia Gambigliani Zoccoli, where tradition meets taste. Students will discover how a family-run excellence has preserved the heritage of Modena’s balsamic vinegar, one of Italy’s most celebrated culinary treasures. The experience includes a tasting lunch of regional specialties, offering an authentic immersion into Emilia’s rich food culture.
Here, students learn how dedication, respect for heritage, and attention to detail create excellence that lasts across generations.
This day provides a unique opportunity to observe two extraordinary case studies—real examples of how innovation and tradition can coexist. It’s a chance for students to understand that true excellence is achieved through vision, passion, and respect for culture.
We are excited for our students to experience firsthand these inspiring examples of Italian creativity and mastery.
