Basilicata

In 2017, Luigi was named the “Culinary Ambassador of Basilicata”, his home region, by the Federation of Italian Cooks. Basilicata, Italy, is the only region in the country with two official names—it also goes by its ancient name Lucania—Basilicata is said to be the home of the first human settlements in Italy. In order to give back to the area which inspires him the most, Luigi has formed a non-profit entitled Basilicata: A Way of Living through which he is proud to present the Transumanza and Pasta Lab.
