                      Thursday, November 29, 2012

  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. 
Roberto Marmo for his years of success both politically and 
professionally in the United States and Italy. For much of his life, 
Roberto Marmo has enjoyed great success both in politics and his 
entrepreneurial endeavors.
  Mr. Marmo's career in politics spans several decades beginning with 
his time as a provincial councilor of Canelli in the 1980's. In the 
following decade, Mr. Marmo served the comune of Canelli as Mayor. From 
1999 until 2008, he held the position of President of the Province of 
Asti. Currently, Mr. Marmo is a member of the Chamber of Deputies 
serving the people of Italy as a member of the Commission on Budget and 
Treasury.
  In addition to his political successes, Mr. Marmo is an accomplished 
entrepreneur in the Piedmont region of Italy. He holds the roles of 
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Cantina Sociale di 
Canelli-Cooperative as well as the President of the Cellars of Canelli 
Winetrading Ltd. After taking over at the Cantina Sociale di Canelli in 
2004, a company on the verge of bankruptcy, Mr. Marino has guided the 
business to a position of financial stability. In recent years, the 
wine cellar has enjoyed annual profits in excess of =20 million and 
produced over 14 million bottles.
  Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to join me in honoring Roberto 
Marmo and thanking him for his years of service in the Republic of 
Italy and influence in the United States.
