The exact location for the Rome edition of the Remarkable Venue Awards was kept a secret until

the evening of this year’s event. Guests met at Piazzale dei Partigiani before being escorted to

the famous Ristorante Pagnanelli in Castel Gandolfo. There, they got to experience a private

wine tasting in the cellars of one of the oldest family-owned restaurants in the region, before

being escorted upstairs to experience the stunning views of Lake Albano and to experience

Italy's culinary delights in true Italian style.

To kick off the event, a presentation by Tiqets was given by the company’s new Regional

Manager of Italy, Nadia Mastrangelo. Mastrangelo shared Tiqets’ achievements in Italy during

2018 and Tiqets CSO, Maarten Raaijmakers, announced a few exciting future developments

venues can expect from Tiqets in 2019.

Raaijmakers also hosted an in-depth question and answer session to further highlight Tiqets
