It was the summer of 2007, and yet another school year had just ended with many shadows, when, after an animated yet constructive discussion with dad Elio and mum Angela, who had always been my role models, I decided to start chasing my great passion, my great dream... cooking.
I always felt I had it in my blood, having grown up with the smells of my grandparents' restaurants first and my parents' later, and that summer my very personal journey began, just a few metres from home, at the Castello Miramare restaurant in Formia.
That summer began my journey into the world of cuisine that has taken me around the globe, from the Sheraton in Milan to the Maria del Mare Restaurant in Barcelona, from the Hassler Imago Hotel in Rome to the Olive Grove in London, from the Nihonryori Ryugin in Tokyo to the Ristrot Guviol in Turin, to the Dolia in Gaeta until my return to Turin here at the Ristrot Guviol.
These are not just names of restaurants or cities, they are professional and personal life experiences that have enriched me, grown me, changed me, always giving me different perspectives, different interpretations of cuisine, from the care of the Element, of the raw material, to its processing, creating complicity and emotion when tasting.
This is precisely the aim, to create emotions in those who taste my dishes.
I have never tired, and never will, of learning, of questioning myself, of always growing in pursuit of that goal.
A lot has changed since that summer, but deep down I am still the same guy with the same dream...cooking.
