Beads and Basil - Shannon Smith - Tulsa
Shannon has a great passion for cooking and travelling all around the world, and one of her trips took her in 2009 to Bologna and to Bluone.
After a day spent together for a cooking lesson and market visit, we became good friends and she could learn and take home a brilliant technique of pasta making. Thanks to her enthusiasm and to her talent, once home she shared what she learned with us with her friends and cooking students. Moreover, few months later our daughter Francesca joined her for some weeks and they taught together cooking classes on tortellini and hand-made pasta in the US. Shannon was again with us in Bologna for a tour in 2011, together with friends.

Brad Austin - Imaginative Florals - Hollywood
The first time we met Brad and his sweet mother Charlene was in 2006, for our tour in Le Marche. Since that time we have called him "Pane" (because "bread" is "pane" in Italian) and have became friends forever.
We met again in Bologna and in Hollywood (our daughter Francesca) and for us it is always like to see family.
We must not forget that Brad is an artist in his job and he is able to create absolutely amazing compositions with flowers and create a magic atmosphere for romantic and special weddings and for any other event.
