I really love hard work and individual responsibility, and view these as core tenants. I’m also very drawn to the idea that patience, pleasure, and beauty are essential to a balanced life. And I’ve always felt a little off-balance growing up in American culture: so when I graduated college I went to work on a farm just outside of Siena to continue my Italian studies and compliment an Environmental Studies degree. The Italians I worked with there were extremely hard working, but knew when to stop and enjoy the remains of the day. The idea that great food, wine, and company were a huge part of life really resonated with me, and it’s something I wanted to bring back to the US, even in my small way.
