Raised among olive trees and the scents of the Salento countryside, I’ve always felt a strong connection to the land and its fruits. As a child I would accompany my mother to local markets, a ritual that sparked a lifelong love for traditional products, the people who produce them, and the stories they carry.
That passion led me to pursue a degree in Agricultural Sciences at the University of Pisa, where I focused my thesis on rural tourism in Tuscany. Today, I’m continuing my studies with a Master’s in Sustainable Agricultural Systems, exploring the deep connections between farming, territory, and local communities.
As part of the research team at The Locals’ Table, I conduct research looking for food producers and tourism experiences that reflect the true soul of Tuscany, genuine, and rooted in tradition. My goal is to help others discover a different side of Tuscany, and experience it not just as a visitor, but as a local.
