The makers of San Pel­legrino min­eral water have teamed up with the Luciano Pav­arotti Found­a­tion to pro­duce bottles of still and spark­ling with the Pav­arotti label. The inter­na­tional launch of the Spe­cial Edi­tion bottle took place in New York with an install­a­tion about the Maestro’s life and career.

The exclus­ive bottles will be avail­able in fine din­ing res­taur­ants through­out the U.S. start­ing in late April and while sup­plies last.

The Found­a­tion, star­ted by his wife, Nicoletta Mantovani, after the Maestro’s passing, oper­ates with the dual goal of keep­ing Pavarotti’s memory alive and of sup­port­ing tal­en­ted emer­ging singers.

Stefano Agostini, CEO of San­pel­legrino S.p.A., said,

In a year full of extraordin­ary hap­pen­ings in the world of music and Italian opera, we cel­eb­rate Luciano Pav­arotti, whose remark­able voice and per­son­al­ity helped to develop a strong, pos­it­ive image of Italy and the Italian way of liv­ing through­out the world, just as S. Pel­legrino Spark­ling Nat­ural Min­eral Water does.

To which Mantovani responded,

The Luciano Pav­arotti Found­a­tion is proud to col­lab­or­ate with S. Pel­legrino for this trib­ute to my late hus­band, Maes­tro Pav­arotti, and Italian opera, par­tic­u­larly dur­ing a year that is so sym­bolic for the art form. As S. Pel­legrino has done in the haute cuisine scene, Luciano con­veyed the idea of Italian excel­lence every day through his love for music and the Italian lyric opera.

The exhib­i­tion AMO Pav­arotti (‘amo’ mean­ing love, but also stand­ing for Arena Museo Opera) will be on show in Ver­ona until Septem­ber 2013.
