Born in Minori on the Amalfi Coast, Gennaro is widely known as the Italian legend who taught Jamie Oliver all he knows about Italian cooking.

Over the last few years, Gennaro has been working with brands including Citalia, Bertolli and Birra Moretti – creating recipes for their YouTube  channels and social media platforms.
