	Cesarini Sforza Spumanti - The Origins
		Two centuries ago the Cesarini Sforza family moved from Parma, where they had participated in the government of the Duchy, to the then Bishops Principality of Trento, where one of its members, Count Filippo, took on the podesterate of Trento.
		In those times, noble families such as the Cesarini Sforza boasted, as was natural in a primarily agricultural economy, of possessing and cultivating splendid farmlands and of owning, in a land as suited for viticulture as Trentino, high quality vineyards that yielded equally prestigious wines.
		In a short time, Cesarini Sforza was capable of selecting, in the best zones of Trentino, a good number of vineyards growing Chardonnay and Pinot Nero grapes, and of managing through their enologists the running of the lands and harvests.

	Andy's Playing Cards - page VI - The Visconti Tarots - part 1
		Allegedly, the two personages are Francesco Sforza and Bianca Maria Visconti, who married in 1441; thus, we should assume that this tarot was manufactured later than the Cary-Yale one.
		Other scholars, though, have claimed that the personages appearing in the Cary-Yale card might be the son of Francesco Sforza, Galeazzo Maria, and his bride Bona of Savoy: in fact, the serpent was among the devices retained by the Sforza family.
		Seen from the opposite end, the gold coin may have been fictional by the time the tarot was painted, and later on Francesco Sforza, inspired by the knight pattern, may have decided to strike a real one, with a different motto.

		These three values are the objectives through which Cesarini Sforza can become the Trentino company that produces spumante wines through a recognised and proven production line together with a great capability for promoting its products and for placing them on the market.
		Within their ample and multiphase marketing project, an in-depth revision of the range of products has rationalized the portfolio, has redefined the standings and has generated important trademark and packaging restyling as well as a significant promotion campaign.
