Instructor: Gaetano Trovato
Chef Gaetano Trovato is renowned for his dedication to showcasing his territory through every dish, emphasizing the intrinsic quality and flavor of the ingredients.
For over forty years, he has worked to bring visibility to the “Artisans of Taste” of his region.
“I believe in speaking through our land, and without a constant search for its excellence, this profession loses much of its meaning.”
Chef Trovato has long abandoned the use of non-local ingredients, now sourcing 80% of his materials locally and the remaining 20% from within Italy. He collaborates with producers like Laura Peri, Simone Fracassi, Poggio Sorbello, and Sant’Ulivieri, focusing on the highest quality, sustainability, and authenticity of processes.
In 2021, he was named Ambassador by Slow Food and Relais & Châteaux for helping save the Valdarno Chicken—a symbol of the Chianti region—from extinction, collaborating with Laura Peri to include it in the Ark of Taste.
Beyond his passion for raw ingredients and hospitality, Chef Trovato and his brother share a deep love for architecture and the art of beauty. Every morning, the Chef dedicates time to floral compositions and preparing the dining room. His artistic flair extends to his dishes, which he describes as “architecture for the palate.”
