Andrea Incerti-Vezzani
Portrait & Food Shoot
For my new book project, “Emilia-Romagna,” I visited Andrea and his team at his restaurant, Ca’ Matilde.
One star for the cuisine and a green star for its sustainability, since almost all the vegetables come from their own garden. I’m not just interested in what ends up on the plate, but also in the people, products and ideas that shape a kitchen. This photographic story combines portraits, glimpses into everyday working life and the restaurant’s dishes.
