Agricultural entrepreneur (olive oil mill operator) In 2016, I opened my own farm. In 2018, I became an olive oil mill operator at the Armato Cristina farm. Producer of table olives. Collaboration with Lodo Guide.

I have attended several O.N.A.O.O. courses over the years, as it is also an important institution deeply rooted in the local area.

Visiting local producers, tasting their products, and discovering the quality and identity of the region is extremely valuable, especially when an organization like O.N.A.O.O. gives you the opportunity to experience it firsthand through the sharing of knowledge and expertise.

I attended the O.N.A.O.O. Technical Olive Oil Taster Course in 2009 and became a Table Olive Taster in March 2025.

I was born in Verona into a family of olive millers and spent around twelve years welcoming tourist groups to local olive mills and producers.

Today, I produce Garda DOP Orientale extra virgin olive oil and manage a small family farm in Cavaion Veronese.

O.N.A.O.O. has always been a key reference point in my professional journey, providing continuous inspiration, expertise, and opportunities for growth.
