IN HER WORDS: I started working in the wine industry in the U.S.; first in Miami and then in San Francisco for the last two years.
When I was in Italy, in Sicily to be specific, I completed my Bachelor and Master degrees in Hotel Management and after an internship in New York, I worked for about three years at a golf resort in Sicily. I then decided to change my life and move to the United States.
I was already passionate about wine, but it was a coincidence that I found a job for an importing and distributing wine company in Miami. There, my passion about wine increased. I also realized there were a lot of misconceptions about Italian culture and I wanted to become more active in promoting the authentic made in Italy.
After Miami I got a job in San Francisco, again for an Italian wine importing and distributing company. It was an amazing experience, but I felt it was time to move back to Italy and be closer to my roots. From Sicily, I moved to Florence the last week of February this year. My plan was to start working in the wine industry in Tuscany and then develop a project on my own; sadly a couple of days after the corona virus crisis began and everything got stuck, also me!
