Meet Filippo
I believe the most memorable experiences are created when knowledge meets genuine hospitality.
After earning a Master's Degree in Building Engineering, I spent almost twenty years managing complex projects in the healthcare sector, first as a Project Manager and later as Technical Director. Those years taught me how to lead people, design meaningful experiences and turn ideas into reality.
Wine, however, had always been my true passion, and I got my first sommelier certification back in 2005.
What began as a personal interest gradually became a new professional path, leading me to dedicate my career to wine education, communication and hospitality.
Today I am the founder of BOLOGNA.WINE, where I design and lead private wine experiences, corporate events and educational tastings for guests from all over the world.
My mission is simple: to help people discover Emilia-Romagna through its wines, its culture and its people.
I hold the WSET Diploma in Wines (DipWSET), one of the world's most respected professional wine qualifications, together with a Master's Degree in Communication, Management & Marketing of Wine from ALMA – The International School of Italian Cuisine.
These qualifications, combined with years of welcoming international guests and collaborating with companies and wine professionals, allow me to create experiences that combine technical expertise, engaging storytelling and authentic Italian hospitality.
Whether I am guiding a private wine experience, designing a corporate team building activity or leading a professional tasting, my goal remains the same: bringing people together through wine.
