WHO: Comptroller Peter Franchot
WHAT: Comptroller Franchot will present a proclamation today to Nino Germano, owner of La Scala restaurant, for the local eatery’s 21 years of success in Little Italy.

In 1995, he opened La Scala, a 13-table restaurant that grew and now has an indoor bocce court, two private dining rooms and a wine room.

The Maryland State Archives, in collaboration with Case LLC of Baltimore, are presenting the exhibit on the state’s rye whiskey industry that thrived for centuries until the early 20th century.
