Martina
Cesarina from 2025Location: Contignano    Languages: Italian and English
My name is Martina, and I represent the third generation of my family. I live in the heart of Val d'Orcia, just a few kilometers from Pienza, in the old farmhouse that belonged to my grandparents—where I was born and raised. It’s here that my grandfather Franco taught me to love and respect our land, and where my grandmother Livia, with her skilled hands, passed down her passion for authentic, home-style cooking. My love for cooking grew from a desire to preserve family traditions and highlight the freshness and quality of the ingredients our land provides. Everything I use comes from our organic vegetable garden and family farm: from tomatoes and garlic to ancient grain flours, Chianina beef, extra virgin olive oil, and our Orcia DOC red wine. Surrounded by the scent of slow-cooked ragù, freshly baked cakes, and handmade pasta, I’ll be delighted to share the story of my family and the secrets behind the most iconic recipes of our region.
