Aldo Zilli: who is the Abruzzese turned star chef in London

The chef

That of Aldo Zilli, a celebrity chef from Abruzzo who has been a naturalized British citizen for nearly 50 years, is a story of success, but also of redemption. Born in Alba Adriatica, on the coast of Abruzzo, he is the last of nine children in a family of humble origins and little money, but rich in love and deep-rooted values.

"We grew up in a very poor environment, there was a lot of love, but no money.We made do with what we had, my mother tended the garden, we ate what she grew,” he tells the Mirror. It was his mother's love and the atmosphere that pervaded the Zilli home that revealed to Aldo, even as a child, his talent and passion.

"My mother was a cook, there were nine of us, and in addition to running the house she also worked at a local hotel in the restaurant business.My love for food came from her, I started making gnocchi and pasta with my mom from the age of eight for the whole family.
