Nino & Giuseppe at the Montblanc Gala

On September 17, 2009, Hollywood’s best and brightest gathered for the Montblanc Gala and Auction to Benefit UNICEF. The sale of 12 Celebrity Portraits and one-of-a-kind writing instruments helps Montblanc surpass the goal to donate a minimum of $1.5 Million Dollar to UNICEF’s education and literacy programmes.

Giuseppe Filianoti and Nino Machaidze, who are currently in L.A. singing in a new production of L' Elisir d'Amore at the LAO, attended the Gala that took place on the Rodeo Terrace of the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons, and shone brighter than a supernova.
