Born to Florentine parents, Len Bargellini grew up speaking Italian at home. His father taught him the love of engineering, travel and languages (his father spoke eight while Len "only" speaks three), and his mother taught him about great food and how that brings people together. This accounts for Len's many travels, his rich Florentine accent, and his love of food and wine! (Photo: Anthony Somkin)
