Before leaving Italy to explore the world, Cristian made sure that he attained enough of what Italy had to offer by working in different regions of the "Bel Paese." From the sea to the mountains, South to north, passing through central Italy, including Abruzzo, Calabria, Piedmont, Aosta Valley, and Lombardy. Wich means assimilating different traditions and cultures and learning other ingredients and techniques.

His passion has taken Cristian across Italy, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, where he has gained extensive culinary and life experiences.

Cristian's resume includes a travel experience in over 10 countries.

He has also obtained and maintained 'The Golden Q' from Ospitalità Italiana for most of the Italian restaurants he has worked.

He also received the 'Silver Plate "that he had obtained after a thematic dinner organized with the Accademia Italiana Della Cucina representative in one of the hotel's restaurants he had worked for.

He has experience in Italy, France, the UK, Spain, Croatia, Romania, Bulgaria, Indonesia, and Dubai. The chef has also traveled and been inspired by the over 30 countries he has visited while working for Silversea – a multi-awarded six stars Cruise Ship.

He affirmed his career as Executive chef in Europe for Radisson Blu and InterContinental.
