About the Author
A native of the small town of Carpenedolo in northern Italy, Franco Galli went to work as a baker's apprentice at the age of ten. Despite his youth, he quickly developed a serious interest in and passion for the cuisine of his country. He later attended the prestigious Italian National Hotel School in Grado and went on to manage a family restaurant near Lago ki Garda. Galli came to the United States in 1979, where he developed menus for several well-known California restaurants before joining San Francisco-based Il Fornaio America in 1987.
