More About Giovanni

As a storyteller and people person, Giovanni took to Dalla Corte’s identity as both a young company, but one whose roots are firmly planted deep in the history of espresso. Upon joining the team, his eyes were opened to the world of specialty coffee, and the unique approach to coffee taken by Paolo, Bruno, and Pietro. After a professional tasting course, and a trip to a coffee farm, his views on the industry were changed forever.

As Communication Manager at Dalla Corte, Giovanni oversees all aspects of marketing, coordinating communication across all platforms, creating and implementing campaigns, and assisting with new product launches. Outside of work, he’s a self-described “football addict,” red wine lover, and loves spending time with his friends and family.

How Did You Become Involved in the Coffee Industry?

Before working for Dalla Corte, I didn’t know how varied and multifaceted the world of coffee was. I was just a compulsive coffee drinker! A position opened in the company's marketing department which has given me the opportunity to better understand coffee, from the plant, the origin countries to the cup. It was an incredible new world for me, love at first sight!
