Da Caino, Montemerano (TOS)
Born in Grosseto in 1958, Valeria Piccini became a Chef out of passion, without ever attending any formal courses or academies. She started working in her mother-in-law's restaurant at the age of 14, transforming it from a simple trattoria into a fine dining establishment, now part of the Relais & Châteaux network. She took over the kitchen in 1987 and, inspired by the best restaurants of the day, decided to explore new culinary horizons. She has left an indelible mark on contemporary Italian cuisine by studying and revolutionising the gastronomic offer with patience, talent and passion.
