Il Trigabolo – The Story of a Legendary Restaurant
23 January 2025
Surgital hosted the preview of the docufilm celebrating a temple of experimentation and passion for gastronomic excellence.
Lavezzola (Ra), January 21, 2025 – Surgital, a Romagna-based company representing Italian culinary tradition worldwide since 1980, and promoting its unique territory, the Italian Food Valley, enthusiastically welcomed the preview of the film Il Trigabolo – The Story of a Legendary Restaurant. The event took place yesterday, January 20, at its headquarters in Lavezzola.
The day featured the participation of director Mauro Bartoli, the production company Lab Film, the authors, friends, admirers of the establishment, and the historic “Rock Brigade” led by Igles Corelli, who, along with many other talents, helped make Trigabolo in Argenta a true icon. During the meeting, the teaser of the docufilm was shown, previewing the story of the famous restaurant and its crucial role in the development of Italian haute cuisine. An official crowdfunding operation was launched to complete its realization.
Founded by Giacinto Rossetti in the 1980s, Trigabolo was a creative laboratory until the early 1990s, a place of worship for gourmands and industry professionals where the pleasure of taste, sharing, and experimentation gave rise to new gastronomic trends. Trigabolo was avant-garde: here, the young and talented brigade started from tradition to find new paths, new interpretations of raw materials and recipes. This extraordinary reality shared deep roots with Surgital: both adventures were born in the same period and territory, that fertile framework that is Emilia Romagna, where the passion for cooking, the ambition to innovate, and the creative spark have created a virtuous intertwining that has left a mark.
Elena Bacchini, Marketing Director of Surgital, emphasized: “Supporting a project that tells such an important chapter of our gastronomic culture is an honor for Surgital. Trigabolo is a place of the heart for all of us. Its history is inextricably linked to our journey: we share the same roots and, above all, the same values of passion, innovation, and dedication. This film celebrates not only a restaurant but an entire territory and the people who, with courage and vision, were able to look beyond their boundaries. The dishes served at Trigabolo were small works of art, the result of what we call artisanal intelligence, which has always been our engine. That is why we feel so close to it.”
The docufilm’s goal is to tell the soul of Trigabolo, celebrating a place that has left an indelible mark on Italian gastronomy and its evolution. It is a document that pays homage to a reality capable of transforming the pleasure of eating and sharing into an art. Surgital, always committed to enhancing the excellences of the territory, contributes with pleasure to this initiative, which ideally unites the threads of a narrative that embraces culinary heritage and innovation. The fundraising campaign launched on this occasion aims to involve all those who want to make this tribute to an institution that has shaped the contemporary gastronomic landscape possible.
With its support, Surgital reaffirms its commitment to supporting and promoting Italian gastronomic culture, celebrating its roots, and looking to the future with the same visionary spirit that made Trigabolo great and continues to inspire the company.
