Profilo professionale

Italian professional with strong experience in wine hospitality, tourism management and sales & marketing. Highly motivated, confident and very adaptable. Passionate about hospitality since childhood because of my family. In 2023, I applied for the prestigious Marriott Voyage Program and successfully passed all three selection stages. I was offered a placement in a Marriott hotel in Milan, but at the same time Cantine Pellegrino offered me my current role, which I chose as the best step for my professional growth.
