The project GiglioCooking was born because of the passion and the love for a rich and
complex land like Italy, which I feel to belong to, with respect and gratitude.
I was born on an island and I have learnt the secrets of the restaurant
industry since a child, as a helper in the family restaurant and then running
one of my own. Just the passion can support
the work of a woman entrepreneur in a marvelous, but difficult country like this one. The dedication to
the quality of the food and to the Mediterranean culture is the other push,
because when we talk about food we do not mean only to feed the body, but the
senses, the Soul, the Spirit and intellect as well, besides the sense of
familiarity of the people around a table.
From here, the idea to open in Florence a school
that would correspond to me, reflecting my personality and my intentions. It
has been a difficult and strengthening journey, made in loneliness as I was not
disposed to renounce quality for quantity. Also for this it has not been easy
to bear the economic commitments and to find collaborators who could be
integral part of the school.
Finally, after years of research and selection,
I am ready to present a group of “journey companions” I chose not just for
their competences, but also for their experience and professional capability
conquered “on the field”, in the practice of life and, overall, for their human
qualities. I consider these
qualities the real mean of communication
and sharing of the richness that gather people, anywhere on the planet, around
a lavish table, symbol of feeding and brotherhood.
The Little School is growing: my thanks to
Isabella, Giovanni, Annalisa, Antonella, with the wish that ours would be -
even if minimum - a contribution to raising of economy and to the personal and
social evolution.
