Dear Guest,
Cooking is my passion! A passion which I completely inherited from my grandmother and my mother, two incredible cooks! Since 1998 I have dedicated myself entirely to this profession which I consider to be more an art form, rather than a job. I have participated in numerous specialization courses, attending also courses in renown restaurants in Arezzo, Siena and Florence. But what has really enriched my working experience is my curiosity and interest towards researching those old traditional recipes which really distinguish Tuscan cuisine and respect its origins.

My work experience has taken me through the kitchens of many restaurants before reaching my current role as head chef at Villa di Piazzano. I have cooked for many people coming from many different nationalities and walks of life, and conversing with my clients at the end of meals has taught me a lot about what transpires in my cuisine. The possibility of sharing this passion with our guests, at the "In Cucina Cooking School" is for me something very special.

Come and join in us in a fun cooking experience - Buon Appetito!
