1991: LE TAMERICI
is established at Pietole, Mantova, initially as a cultural association and Cookery School. It is the brainchild of Paola Calciolari whose true passion is cookery, despite a degree in Pharmacy. The school is for people who love preparing food and want to learn some of the secrets of traditional cookery, but with a new twist.
