I am a freelance art historian, graduated from Ca' Foscari University of Venice.
Through the years I have managed to increase my knowledge of Venetian civilization by interlacing different subjects, such as history with visual art and literature, or economics with the development of material culture.
I have also studied the way old traditions are related to the evolution of regional cuisine.
Since 1992, I've been a tour guide of Venice and the Veneto Region and in 2007 I became a certified Sommelier. In the last years I attended some seminar activities aimed at expanding the repertoire of my palate and my knowledge on specific subjects , such as “The nose and the palate of the Sommelier” , “Pairing wine with food” arranged by the National Sommelier Association. In the last years I took some workshops arranged by the Slow Food Movement, such as the "Master on French wines", the two grade course "Master of Cheese", and “The Treasury of Italian Cheeses” led by Alberto Marcomini, who was awarded the official title of “Maitre Fromager” in France.
