Guests Bio – Alessia C. Travaglini

Alessia was born and raised in the little city of Gattinara, surrounded by nature, hills covered by beautiful vineyards and the crisp air of a small town whose business revolves around two things: Lavazza coffee and food and wine.

From a young age, her future was quite clear: to follow in the footsteps of her parents and previous generations. In fact, she based her academic career on this, studying economics, a master's degree in Wine Business Management and sommelier courses. In 2019 she joined the family business and immediately took care of export and business relationships and some organizational and operational restructuring in other areas.
