There are people who, through their daily work and the way they carry themselves, become true points of reference over time. Cecilia Ferrari is undoubtedly one of them: for nearly twenty years she has worked at Monte delle Vigne, representing a solid and reliable presence within the winery.
Cecilia is responsible for order management, logistics, and more generally for “incoming” administration, that is, relations with Ho.Re.Ca. business clients. These are essential activities, often far from the spotlight, yet crucial to ensuring continuity, accuracy, and quality of service. Her role requires attention, method, and a deep knowledge of company processes—skills that Cecilia has built over time with seriousness and dedication.
She lives in Ozzano Taro with her family – her youngest son, Tommy, is a regular member of the Aperistreet staff, our vineyard happening on summer Thursdays – and she perfectly embodies the values of our Emilia region: practicality, a strong sense of duty, and a natural inclination toward collaboration. These values are reflected every day in her approach to work and in her relationships with colleagues.
Beyond her many years of experience, Cecilia has managed to preserve a quality that is anything but taken for granted: her willingness to get things done. She approaches each day with a positive attitude, openness, and availability, proving that enthusiasm does not depend on time, but on the spirit with which one lives and works.
She is always ready to lend a hand, especially to colleagues in sales, but also to production and logistics, often becoming a link between different departments. Her ability to listen, combined with a natural wisdom, makes her advice especially valuable: Cecilia knows the company, the people, and the dynamics, and her experience represents a truly valuable resource.
To tell Cecilia’s story means to tell the story of the value of people who, with discretion and consistency, help make Monte delle Vigne what it is today. People who do not seek visibility, yet leave a tangible mark. The following anecdote captures Cecilia’s value perfectly. In early September, a time when the recovery of the restaurant industry overlaps with the harvest and the final Aperistreet dates, Gabriele Olivieri hurriedly remarked to the writer: “Cecilia can’t go on holiday—she’s too important to this company!”
Cecilia deserves the thanks of all her colleagues: a sincere, shared thank-you, born of respect and recognition. It is the kind of thanks that means the most.
