About Us

We are six childhood friends, apart for professional reasons but always close to one another, thanks to the sharing of the same values since we were kids. We are accomplished professionals in our respective fields, with the passion for good food and conviviality (which is, to us, a moment to share and keep emotions and memories alive) and for the truffle (which we used to hunt for, as kids, with our dogs).

MARCO DI VALENTINO

My name is Marco di Valentino and I’m the founder of the Regal Truffle – Adopt a King project. I was born 46 years ago in Lucerna, Switzerland, in which I formed myself as a human being. After graduating as a dental technician, after 5 years working on the field I decide to become a small entrepreneur, led by my creativity, so I founded three companies which operate in the dental field. Thanks to the passion for good food, the will to share with friends and the passion for truffle as well I created “Cusciano SRL”, a company which allows us to manage the Regal Truffle – Adopt a King project.

ALVARO QUARANTA

My name is Alvaro Quaranta, I was born in 1971 in Cusciano, in the province of Teramo. I’m an ecological operator. I was born inside the Gran Sasso National Park and I’ve always wanted to do something good which could present the Abruzzo to the whole world. Together with my friends we decided to farm, along with all the special ingredients of the mediterranean cuisine, the king of the kitchen: the truffle. My goal is to work respecting the environment, with 0 emissions and in an organic way.

VINCENZO QUARANTA

My name is Vincenzo Quaranta, born in Abruzzo and fond of his territory. I’m a business consultant, an accountant, a husband, a father of three children and a good food lover. When my friends offered me to be a part of Regal Truffle, after an initial skeptism, I came to understand that this idea had many positive aspects and a very low risk for both the investor and the cliend, who’ll adopt a truffle plant bringing him a high profit with the initial invested asset.

MARCELLO DI VALENTINO

My name is Marcello Di Valentino, I was born in 1972 in Lucerna, Switzerland, and I work as a cardiologist in “San Giovanni Hospital” in Bellinzona, Switzerland; I also have an academic title to teach medicine in Lugano University’s Master Medicine School. My passion for good food and the love for my land, Abruzzo, brought me to share the ambition of the Regal Truffle – Adopt a King project. I believe in this dream as there are different characterizing elements, spacing from technical capability to knowledge and love for the territory and, most importantly, there’s a huge share of passion.

ALADINO CAVALLUCCI

My name is Aladino Cavallucci, I was born in 1971 in Switzerland but my parents are from Abruzzo. The passion for my homeland have always lived strongly in me. I come back to my city, Pescara, at least once a year. In Abruzzo, among the mountains and the sea, I can refill my soul with energy. My job consist in assisting people with troubles finding a new identity; through this profession I constantly get in touch with new people and different worlds. Why do I like the “Regal Truffle” project? Because I believe in what I do, because I trust my partner’s reliability, because we’ll delight the world’s most demanding gourmands with the product of our passion! I wish you all a world of happiness and serenity.
