Born and brought-up in Naples, Italy “il Bel Paese”, with fresh and genuine food.
A background as Freelance Photographer, (reportage, portraits, still-life), I kept cherishing my culinary knowledge for everything organic, sustainable, local and seasonal, treasuring the traditional way of cooking.
My professional culinary life begins in Paris with excellent schools and collaboration with great chefs that, besides entrusting me with their cooking tips and tricks, have taught me the Art of Food Presentation...

Delightfully yours,
Food Meditations
I did my debut as an intern at the 3-stars Michelin restaurant “Pavillon Ledoyen” with Chef Christian Le Squer, eventually continuing my training and work experience at the 2-stars Michelin restaurant “L'Espadon” Hotel Ritz Paris, with Chef Michel Roth, where I went from the savoury to pastry with Chef-Patissier Eddie Benghanem.
The knowing of photography and cooking naturally led me toward Food Photography, Styling, Recipes Development and Social Media Management.
Making food that cameras love, determine the strategy and best methods to broaden brand awareness, expand existing marketing channels.
I am the author and curator of the blog Food Meditations, the gourmet observer on healthy eating, food trends and culinary news from around the world. A digest on what's happening in the global food community with notes on cooking, styling, taking pictures...Hope you'll enjoy it!
Delightfully yours,
