About Mama Margaret & Friends Cooking Adventures in Italy

Marcello and Raffaella

Mama Margaret & Friends works with Marcello and Raffaella on their Emilia-Romagna, Umbria and Le Marche tours. This delightful couple was born and grew up in Imola in Emilia Romagna and live in Bologna.

With them, you'll have the time of your life. Garrulous, funny Marcello knows a lot of off the beaten path places to show you and a wide range of wonderful people for you to meet in Italy.

Fun-loving Raffaella learned to cook with her grandmother and brings her passion for Italian cooking and fine food to the selection of restaurants and menus. Daughter Francesca, 18, is a fabulous cook, speaks good English and helps in the cooking tours.
