Sante Levoni enters the Order of the Crown of Belgium with full rights
Awards are always a pleasure for those who receive them, but on this special occasion it was a pleasure for the one who confered it as well. Ambassador Jan de Bock, in fact, nominated Sante Levoni Knight of the Order of the Crown with great joy, in the marvellous setting of the Belgian Embassy in Rome. Sante Levoni is an enterpreneur from Modena and owner of Alcar Uno Spa, which deals in transformation and selling of meat and meat products.
Long standing friend with Belgium, passionate and fundamental dealer with Belgian export companies, knight Santino Levoni distinguishes himself by his professionalism by which, during the years, he created and promoted relationships between Italy and Belgium.
“The fair and prolific commercial relationship between the company and its Belgian suppliers has been going on for more than thirty-five years now. We can not forget that, even during the sanitary crisis in our Country, Mr Levoni found a way to go beyond the immediate interests and find a solution that would satisfy everybody.”

Accompanied by his wife, his sons and his important co-worker Wanda, Santino received an award that proves how Belgium holds him, his values and the commercial bonds he created in high esteem.
The award of the Order of the Crown, given by King Albert II of Belgium, is a chivalcric order founded in 1897 to reward the soldiers’ heroic sacrifices in the State of Congo (then Belgian colony). In 1908 the Order of the Crown became part of the national awards both for Belgian and foreign citizens, military and diplomatic personalities standing out in favour of Belgium.
