About Me

Celia and Enzo: Tuscany, Italy; Our blog is about our love for food and Italian life. It is written by us, Celia and Enzo. We are an Anglo-Italian family and live with our daughter in Lucca in Northwestern Tuscany, a very beautiful part of the world with amazing food. I, Enzo, was born and brought up in Naples, Southern Italy. When I was eighteen I left home and went globetrotting for many years. I was a sailor and during a sabbatical I met beautiful and charming Celia in London and within a flick we were married. When living with my parents I was deeply immersed in the Neapolitan food tradition and I remember never ending Sunday meals with ten or more courses, great conversation and laughter. I, Celia, started out as a musician and then became a fine bookbinder and conservator. However since living in Italy I have worked mainly with tourists and just occasionally dipping my toes back into the world of books and art. Life in Tuscany has bought many challenges and frustrations but also delights. I kick myself sometimes to remind me that I live in the heart of where the Renaissance began.
