Cristoforo Trapani, chef of Magnolia, the stellar restaurant at the Hotel Byron in Forte dei Marmi, has translated his culinary creativity to design. These two worlds meshed instantly: at the table or on a sideboard, his tiered cake stand PRE, hosts sweet and savoury finger food to be offered to guests in a creative and unexpected way. The bread basket of the Apuan Alps, in white or black marble, is ready to cradle the great Italian bread making tradition; the artichoke brazier is his chef-d’oeuvre, and the soup tureen, are all objects of a simple cuisine that is redolent of lemons, sea and sun. They are not limited to functionality, but gleam with the marble’s calcite. Stellar Chef of “La Magnolia” in Forte dei Marmi. His early experiences of working with fresh and simple ingredients from his native land, lead him to formulate a concept of cuisine that is simple and rewarding. His meetings with masterful chefs such as Heinz Beck, Antonino Cannavacciuolo, Moreno Cedroni and Davide Scabin, refined the personality of a chef who can capture and reinterpret the rich traditions of the south, combining them it in a straightforward way with the honest, gastronomic resources of Tuscany; from Lunigiana to Versilia, where he lives.
