„Everything I do is driven by passion“
After attending the Cesare Ritz catering college and getting a degree in Gastronomic Sciences at the University of Parma, I undertook a master’s degree in Hospitality Management at the free University of Bolzano and Cornell University. I began my professional career as a cook and then joined the research and development department of a food company. Now I run the Hotel Union… our family business. I love looking after our guests and staff and I do it to the best of my professional ability. I share my vision and projects for the future with my fellow workers and they appreciate it, working passionately to accomplish them. I think it was my grandfather Eugenio who instilled certain values in me: innovation, efficiency, the environment. I remember when I was a child, I used to go with him to check the boilers and today we are certified for our eco-sustainability!!! He was definitely an inspiration to me… my grandfather also taught me to love where I live and do everything I can to protect and develop it. Mum and Dad also played an important part in my education. Who else could have taught me the art of hospitality if not my own father? Or values such as honesty and sincerity if not my mother? I’m always really busy but that’s the way I like it. I try to do a bit of sport: golf, cycling and cross-country skiing and spend time with my family and friends of course. Nothing beats a great evening with great company!
