The Food Expert:
I am a licensed tourist guide for the provinces of Vercelli, Novara and Pavia. I have an irrepressible passion for telling the story of the territory in its landscape, cultural and food and wine aspects: these three provinces are, in fact, the territory where more than 60% of European rice is produced. Impossible not to fall in love with rice and rice fields!
