Antonio Carluccio's Story
Antonio Carluccio was one of Italy's great food ambassadors. He wrote thirteen bestselling books, including Complete Italian Food, Complete Mushroom Book and Italia, and made numerous television programmes – the most recent being Two Greedy Italians.
With Priscilla Carluccio he ran the Neal Street Restaurant in London's Covent Garden and spent 10 years developing the hugely successful Carluccio's Caffes. In 1998 Antonio was given the Commendatore award, the equivalent of a British knighthood, for his knowledge, enthusiasm and lifetime's service to the Italian food industry, and in 2007 he received the O.B.E.
