Graduated in Hotel and Catering College I started to travel and work around Europe to improve my language’s skills and to upgrade myself, I had the luck to work with some worldwide famous chefs in some important establishments, as Karsten Heidsieck at La Meridiana Hotel, in London with Anton Edelmann at The Savoy Hotel as well as Willi Elsener at the Dorchester Hotel.

In Italy with Gualtiero Marchesi, the father of the modern italian cuisine, Anthony Genovese at Il Pagliaccio in Rome, Andrea Migliaccio in the beautiful Capri island, and the last but not the least the genius of Massimo Bottura currently number one chef in the world. In 2002 I won Best Sommelier of Piedmont Trophy and arrived in final for Berlucchi Trophy Best Sommelier of Italy, finally in 2009 I have been selected as best sommelier of Italy by Paolo Marchi at the famous “Identità Golose” food and beverage guide presentation.
