H.E. Stefano Baldi, Ambassador of the Italian Republic to Bulgaria, and H.E. Camillo Zuccoli, Ambassador of the Sovereign Order of Malta to Bulgaria, under whose auspices the event took place, each contributed enormously to the organisation of the biggest and unique cultural event in Bulgaria’s opera scene.

True to its long-standing tradition and corporate culture, the Law Firm Penkov, Markov & Partners was the golden sponsor of the event, enabling hundreds of opera aficionados to be touched by the magic of Italian classical music to the accompaniment of an orchestra conducted by the great Maestro Giuseppe Sabbatini.

Marco Montecchi, President of the Italian Chamber in Bulgaria, welcomed the audience in his opening address, wishing all present a Merry Christmas on the occasion of the approaching festive season.

The event was attended by Vladimir Penkov, attorney-at-law, President and Senior Partner at Penkov, Markov & Partners, Mrs. Iskra Stefanova, Executive Director, and many of the colleagues at the law firm were also in attendance.
