One of the last places you would expect to find a real Italian prince is driving a food truck on the streets of Los Angeles, California. But that hasn’t stopped His Royal Highness Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy, Umberto II, from trying his luck in the American mobile food business.

你不大会想到在加州洛杉矶大街小巷开着食品卡车的会是意大利王子。但这也阻止不了意大利皇室塞沃家族菲利韦托二世在美国移动食品行业小试一把运气。

With a food truck with fresh Italian pasta that is loved around the world，he painted it in the colors of House Savoy and named it “Prince of Venice”, after one of his would-be titles which are not recognized by the Italian government.

菲利韦托二世的这辆卡车装着风靡世界的意大利面，他把卡车漆成塞沃家族的色彩，并且起名为“威尼斯王子”，这是他原本要世袭的头衔，虽然意大利并不会承认。

Filiberto says he was mesmerizes by all the “beautiful and colorful” food trucks in Los Angeles, and had his Eureka moment when he realized almost all of them were offering Asian and Mexican food, but none had Italian cuisine on the menu. He hied a chef and started driving around L.A. selling dishes like fettucine with shrimp and clams or linguine with truffles for as little as $15.

菲利韦托说这些“色泽鲜丽”的食品卡车让他着了迷，他发觉几乎所有食品卡车都提供亚洲和墨西哥食物，却没有一辆菜单上有意大利美食时，有如发现了新大陆一般。他雇佣了一名厨师，开始在洛杉矶一边开车，一边卖对虾蛤蜊意大利宽面条和松露意大利扁面条，售价低廉，仅15美元。

Until opening his food truck business in Los Angeles, Filiberto was often spotted on the red carpet and made appearances on various Italian TV shows. But he seems to have turned a blind shoulder to that lifestyle and has dedicated himself to the Prince of Venice food truck. And business is apparently going great.

一直到在洛杉矶开启食品卡车前夕，菲利韦托一直在红毯上和诸多意大利电视节目里现身。但他似乎要背离那种生活方式，潜心致力于他的威尼斯王子食品卡车，显然，生意很好。

“The 'Prince of Venice' food truck has already become a phenomenon,” the Italian royal says. “Americans like to eat quickly and have their lunch in a park or on a bench. I'm offering them a quality product. And, after all, where else in America can you say that you've been fed by an Italian prince?”

“'威尼斯王子'的食物卡车已经成为了热点现象”，意大利王室人员称。“美国人喜欢快速饮食，在公园或者长凳上吃午饭。我给他们提供优质的食品。毕竟，在美国其它地方，哪里还有意大利王子给你为喂食呢？”
