Having joined the Hotel Tritone team not long ago, Federico told us how he got here and what his goals are. His aims show his temperament and are in perfect assonance with the far-sighted ideas of the Management.

FEDERICO, INTRODUCE YOURSELF TO THOSE WHO DON’T KNOW YOU

I am Federico C., I am 30 years old, and I come from Padova.

WOULD YOU TELL US YOUR STORY?

I studied at the hotel institute in Abano Terme. Later I did a two-and-a-half-year internship in Montegrotto Terme, during which I learned the basics of pastry.  After that I had the opportunity to combine different experiences in Italy and abroad, such as the Pastry Academy in Rome, a period of work at a 5-star hotel in Milan, and others at the starred restaurants of  Alain Ducasse in Montecarlo and a hotel in Gardone Riviera. While abroad I spent a year with the maitre chocolatier Christophe Morel in Canada and I worked in a Ducasse group chocolate shop in France.

WHAT IS YOUR ROLE AT HOTEL TRITONE? AND WHAT DOES YOUR JOB INVOLVE?

I am the  Pastry Chef  of Hotel Tritone and I coordinate a team of two people. My goal is to further raise the level of pastry here by drawing on my previous experiences. For this reason, I am studying new desserts to offer guests. 

HOW DO YOU LIKE BEING AT HOTEL TRITONE?

I feel good, I feel at home and I immediately felt I had joined a very close-knit team.   In addition, I found General Manager Walter Poli very willing to innovate, for example by investing in  state-of-the-art machinery.

In my research of new shapes, tastes and dishes, it is important to find such willingness.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT YOUR JOB?

I like  studying new recipes  to amaze clients, especially people who appreciate pastry.

WHAT IS YOUR CLOSEST CONTACT WITH GUESTS AT TRITONE?

The  pastry course  we do every Wednesday. This is an important time in which the guest can understand how desserts are created and why certain choices are made. In this way they understand better the selection of ingredients and the commitment behind it. Plus, they can learn a  recipe that is easy to replicate at home.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE HOTEL TRITONE IN ONE WORD?

Elegance understood as attention to detail: it is this aspect that makes the Tritone different from other hotels. 

WHAT DO YOU LIKE DOING IN YOUR FREE TIME?

I ride motorcycles, I like climbing and I am passionate about photography.

IF YOU WERE A GUEST AT HOTEL TRITONE ONE DAY, WHICH SERVICE / TREATMENT WOULD YOU TRY FIRST?

The  restaurant!  From here you can understand how a hotel is set up and the quality of the whole structure. If I were to try something else instead, I think I’d choose a  massage.
