Passionate about history and always looking to find new additions for his Vintage cocktail book collection, in 2014 Luca moved to London from Italy to continue his hospitality journey; taking him to prestigious hotels such as Ritz, The Lanesborough, Brown’s Hotel, L’oscar London and Shangri-La Hotel At The Shard, where he was in charge of Gong Bar, the highest cocktail bar in Western Europe.
