Carlo Knighted Carlo Gislimberti, owner and chef of Villa Fontana Restaurant in Taos, returned recently from Rome with a new title. He was anointed a Cavaliere Ufficiale della Repubblica Italiana. It translates roughly to mean he has been knighted. Italy's President Oscar Luigi Scalfaro knighted Gislimberti in a ceremony in Rome in mid-April. Gislimberti, 54, was recognized for his contribution and achievements in promoting Italian cuisine, arts and products in New Mexico for the past 17 years, and for his work with Ciao Italia, an organization of Italian restaurateurs throughout the world who promote Italian products, services and culinary knowledge. Gislimberti opened Villa Fontana eight years ago. He and his wife, Siobhan, moved to Taos in 1984. from Journal North (New Mexico), May 10, 1999
