Luigi Taglienti
The chef, originally from Liguria, has a family with varied origins throughout Italy.
From a young age, he felt a romantic vocation for cooking.
The influence of the great Italian chefs passed on to him a love of raw materials, while the great French chefs emphasized the importance of knowing how to transform it and classic techniques.
The great Spanish, Nordic, and South American chefs have shown that it is possible to dare anything in the kitchen as long as you have meaningful ideas and insights.
For Taglienti, it is fundamental to put oneself out there and develop a personal, recognizable and inimitable style. The chef’s cooking is based on intuition, sensitivity and the ability to interpret raw materials, using technique to achieve a final idea.
His culinary offerings cater to a diverse audience, from the haute cuisine curious to seasoned food and wine critics, through four distinct but consistent culinary styles.
The chef’s dishes are born frominstinct and creativity, with a story to tell that integrate tradition, modernity, lightness and territory. One sometimes senses its need to dare to explore new paths, leading to extraordinary experiences and innovations recognized as new.
Beppe Fenoglio Hall
The Hall is dedicated to Alba writer Beppe Fenoglio (1922 – 1963), author of such works as The Partisan Johnny, A Private Matter, and Springtime of Beauty.
