I think I’ve tasted every single topping ever! I’m a pizza lover. That’s all I am!” “Strictly Neapolitan mozzarella, and parmigiano and prosciutto from Parma.” “Definitely affettati (charcuterie)! My grandfather was a butcher, so how could I not love cold cuts?” “A platter of antipasti please. For every meal. For the rest of my life.” Editor in Chief & Copy Editor CELINE KAT TRAVEL GUIDE A TOUR OF LAZIO -- AGNESE JESSICA ALESSANDRO POLPETTA “I could never say no to gelato! I’m all about that creaminess: bacio, stracciatella and whipped cream!” “It would have to be risotto. It’s the ultimate comfort food, and variations are endless!” “Well anything cheesy.
