Professional chef with international fine dining experience

Dynamic professional with solid experience in the culinary and hospitality industry, specialized in managing complex projects, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and achieving concrete goals, with a strong focus on results and continuous growth.

Born in 1995 in Salento, in the town of Scorrano, known worldwide as the capital of artistic illuminations. During my studies at the Otranto Culinary Institute, I explored and practiced traditional Salento cuisine while working in local establishments.

Through the digital world, I discovered the great masters of international fine dining and identified my main inspirations: Alex Atala, Massimo Bottura and Heinz Beck, all united by vision, technique and creative genius.

Inspired by these icons, I developed a strong research-driven mindset and began collaborating directly with some of them, shaping my professional identity.

I celebrated my 20th birthday in London, inside a 2 Michelin-starred restaurant, not as a guest but in the kitchen alongside Chef Claude Bosi. I spent several months in his brigade, working up to 18 hours a day, mastering innovative cooking techniques for fish and game, and fully experiencing the elegance of French cuisine.

I then felt a strong need to return to Italy, where I joined the brigade of Heinz Beck, executive chef of La Pergola at the Rome Cavalieri, consistently awarded 3 Michelin stars since 2005.

During this period, I worked with molecular gastronomy, cutting-edge tools and an international team, contributing to high-end gastronomic experiences designed for a global elite audience.

My journey continued at Arnolfo with chef patron Gaetano Trovato, where I developed strong skills in food cost management and learned how to enhance and respect the finest Tuscan ingredients.

I later worked in Tenerife, Ibiza and Monte Carlo, before establishing collaborations with restaurants in Salento and Puglia.

For the past year, I have been the head chef at Agriturismo La Tresenda in Livigno. In my free time, I work as a private chef, offering tailor-made dining experiences at your home or at the location of your choice.

If you are planning a private event, an exclusive dinner or a bespoke culinary experience, I am here to help.
