About Giacomo & Lupo
A chef, a dog,
and an old farmhouse
"I was born and raised in Florence, but life took me far — years spent working and living in New Zealand and South Africa. When I came back, I did something that changed everything: I bought the old farmhouse where my grandparents had lived until the end of World War II, abandoned for decades, slowly being swallowed by the countryside.
One summer morning, while clearing the garden — pulling plants out by the roots — I found, almost by magic, four truffles hiding in the earth.
After 20 years in professional kitchens, I knew exactly what they were. But I had never seen one in the wild. Never felt that moment of pure, raw discovery.
It was love at first sight. That's how Lupo the King was born."
