After having graduated from secondary school (Liceo Scientifico) and having spent some years at university studying economics and commerce I started working in the textile industry, but after a few years it became clear to me that my real career was in catering, so I enrolled at the Institute of Culinary Arts (Istituto di Arti Culinarie Etoile) of Chioggia, where I obtained a diploma. In 1995 I opened a small restaurant in the centre of Florence called “Du Monde”, which specialized in Tuscan and Mediterranean cuisine. In 2001 I started providing catering services, cooking courses and working as a personal chef, which I still to do this day. I collaborate with Good Taste of Tuscany, Castello di Casole, Timbers Resorts, the Ferragamo group, and Exclusive Resorts (based in Denver). I hold cooking courses in Tuscany, in Italian and French but mostly in English as 90% of my clients are American, where we make typical dishes with fresh seasonal ingredients. I was also a personal chef for Gary Larson (creator of the cartoon series The Far Side) for a week. With my catering business I have been involved in coordinating weddings, parties and incentives, particularly in the fashion world. I cater for private dinner parties in the homes of Florentine families. I speak Italian, English and French.“A Trip to Italy”
