Want your business to be the top-listed Travel Agency?
I am Sophie Minchilli, half American, half Italian, born and raised in Rome. I have lived here all my life except for my time at university in London. I loved my experience there, and over the course of three years, I realized that food would play a prominent role in whatever I did. I waitressed, I catered, I even worked in a pub. I interned for a well-known food writer and helped to launch an Egyptian street food restaurant. All the while I was studying and finishing my degree in communications. But even there I managed to work food, and Italy, into my thesis subject: The Image of Food in Italian Cinema.
I finally realized that although my body was in the UK, my heart and soul were in Italy. I think that while Italy is a country with many challenges, once you experience Italian lifestyle, it’s hard to adapt to anything else.
So I moved back to Rome and decided to entirely dedicate my life to food, in any way possible. I started working in restaurants; I interned for a restaurant consulting firm, translated for cooking classes, photographed food, and lead food tours for my mom (who happens to be a notable food blogger)
I am truly in love with my country and its people, and my goal with my Food Tour Business is to show you Italy (and Rome in particular) through my eyes (and stomach!). Even though more and more are disappearing, I will try and capture the small artisans working hard to persevere, grandparents who still cook their old recipes, farmers struggling to survive with the rise of supermarkets, restaurant owners, as well as just everyday Italians.
