Born in 1976 in Crotone in the Italian region of Calabria, he moved to Dublin in 2000 as an engineer.

After a few years of research in Trinity College Dublin, he managed a language school and translation company where he taught Italian and looked after translations in Italian, English, Spanish and French.

In 2010 he became the Director of Pinocchio Cookery School. In his role as Director he is the host of the popular cookery team building events. As a regular on the morning program ‘Ireland AM’, over the years he has been teaching the Irish audience how to prepare traditional Italian dishes.

This new adventure is the opportunity to gather all the eclectic experiences and initiatives of the Flavour of Italy Group into a magic box that is an archive of stories to remember and a stage to showcase talent and ideas.
