John Bersani

John Bersani is a writer, teacher and passionate advocate of Italian food, wine and culture. A 2nd generation Italian-American with roots in his grandparents' kitchen, John's cooking philosophy has been shaped by more than 20 years of living in a small hilltop town in central Tuscany.

When he's not in the kitchen, chances are John is off sharing his inside knowledge of the Tuscan countryside with small bespoke tour groups, discovering new culinary inspiration up and down the Italian boot, or spending time with his wife and three adult children.

20 Amici 40 Ricette: Friends and Food from the Heart of Chianti is John's first book. John is also the founder of Avventura Trips. John and his wife, Cyndy, split their time between Gaiole-in-Chianti, Italy and Scottsdale, AZ.
