The transcript is a conversation with Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia, the Prince of Venice, who shares his journey from being a royal member of the Italian royal family to becoming a successful entrepreneur in Los Angeles. He talks about his family history, his decision to create a food truck that serves fresh Italian pasta, and his efforts to promote Italian culture.
Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia, the Prince of Venice, is a descendant of the Savoy dynasty, which ruled Italy from 1861 to 1946. He was born in Switzerland and studied in Geneva, but was unable to return to Italy due to a law in the Italian constitution that prevented the king, queen, and their main descendants from returning to Italy. This law was changed in 2002, allowing him to return to Italy.
In Los Angeles, Emanuele discovered the food truck scene and noticed that there was no food truck serving fresh Italian pasta. This inspired him to create his own food truck, the Prince of Venice, which serves a variety of Italian pasta dishes. The business is a success, and the brand is well-known in Los Angeles.
Emanuele also shares his love for racing and American cars, which has been a passion since his youth. He mentions that he was in Los Angeles a few years ago at big events at Paramount Pictures, where he discovered the food truck scene.
Throughout the conversation, Emanuele emphasizes his commitment to his Italian heritage and his passion for pasta. He believes that "life is a combination of magic and pasta," and he is proud to serve quality, restaurant-grade pasta in the streets of Los Angeles.
In addition to his food truck, Emanuele has also participated in television shows like "Dancing with the Stars" and hosted Miss Italy. He has a passion for racing and American cars, and he has hosted big shows and done a lot of film premieres.
