PAOLO MARCHI
Paolo Marchi is a journalist and writer. He is author of numerous books (among which the ones about the chefs Alfonso Iaccarino and Moreno Cedroni) which interpret good cooking and the world around it. In 2006 Paolo Marchi has won the Veronelli Prize as food and wine emerging writer. The motivation for the prize is an efficient synthesis of his research work which moves between history, reality and dream: “He is awarded for the verve used in writing his guides, and for the measure with which, deeply respecting the values of tradition, is perhaps the most careful critic to anything new that’s in the kitchen.”
In 2004 he has realized Identita’ Golose, the first Italian convention of “fine art” cooking, which in January 2008 has reached its fourth edition.
In February 2007 he was among the journalists awarded at the Capitol of Rome in occasion of the 20th anniversary of the National Association City of Wine “for having contributed in transforming the way of communicating on the agroindustrial sector, the wine and the typical products, moving these from being considered marginal elements of information to means of knowledge and valorization of the many Italian diversities in this specific field.”
He has been working for the Italian sport section of Il Giornale, for almost 15 years he has been curating the survey Cibi Divini and for nearly 10 years the column Affari di Gola.
