Simona Spadafora

Bologna, Italy

“Cooking has always been my passion since I was a child. Thanks to my mother. I have always studied, reading books, experimenting and comparing myself with those who, like me, had the same passion. During my 23 years of work in a large-scale retail chain, I always felt the sensation of feeling “out of place” and focused my energies on my special moment: making pasta. At 49 years old I decided to follow my heart: I signed up for the 3-day VSB course to try to get into the professional course, so my dream could begin to take shape. I quit my job, and in January 2024 I began the journey to become a real sfoglina… in April my new life finally began and for this I will forever be grateful to the teachers Alessandra and Stefania. Now I am happy.
