I was born in a small town in the Province of Macerata (center Italy). With its population of only 17000 people there were 16 restaurants. One of them, a little Trattoria, was owned & run by my grandmother who was a very tough woman to work with.

I used to spend a lot of time helping my grandma around the Trattoria since I was 10. I washed dishes, cleaned & serve tables, lather on as I grew tall enough to reach the stove, cooked along with my grandma.....

My father had never approved my growing passion for cooking; he thought that it was not a proper profession for a "MAN". As a result my kitchen literacy was limited to what I had learned from working at my grandma’s Trattoria. Looking back I realize that my Grandma taught me more that any cooking school can ever teach.
