About Chef Giuseppe Galazzi: Born in Ferrara, Italy, Chef Giuseppe Beppe Galazzi developed his culinary passion from his grandfather, a chef, and began his pursuit of the culinary arts at the early age of 14. Heavily influenced by his teachers at the Culinary Institute in Ferrara, his curiosity about food grew into the skill with which he now executes every dish. Chef Galazzi attributes his unique style to his love for traveling, absorbing recipes from various cultures and transforming them into his own creations using local and organic ingredients. When asked what he contributes to Fontana's well-rounded menu, Galazzi replied, I like to offer what people cannot often find in restaurants, and that they would not cook at home.
