The Citrus of the Medicis: discovering ancient flavors

My husband, Vito, and I have always had a passion for cooking and hospitality. Vito, with his Sicilian origins, loves to prepare dishes that reflect his heritage. He adores tomatoes, fennel, spiciness, and beef. As for me, Silvia, I enjoy baking traditional desserts such as crostate and schiacciata alla fiorentina. I also love cooking vegetables and creating imaginative bruschettas. Making fresh pasta, as taught by my mother and grandmother, is a passion of mine. I have a fondness for lace doilies and things that evoke a sense of nostalgia. Adding to this mix is a touch of international flair, acquired through language studies and numerous travels. I am fluent in English, German, and French
