By training, Chiara Montalto Giannini is an actress and a writer, but she has been cooking since before she can remember. As an actress and a writer, her solo play, A Brooklyn Love Story &#8211; based on the decade she spent living in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn with her grandfather &#8211; was produced Off Broadway at the Cherry Lane Theatre in New York and at Theatre 68 in Los Angeles, where it was directed by Ronnie Marmo. Currently, she is the Director of the Writers Guild Initiative, a non-profit affiliated with the WGAE that shares the tools of writing and creative expression with different communities. She&#8217;s also a proud member of SAG-AFTRA and the Dramatists Guild. At Appetito, Chiara will share recipes from her childhood and those she has learned through her extensive pursuit of Italian food both here and abroad.

Krista Zangari is a passionate Italian-American artist, content creator, and the vibrant force behind &#8220;2 Italy We Go.&#8221; Inspired by her first trip to Italy in 2018, Krista realized that much of the Italian-American content she encountered focused on clichés rather than the rich, authentic heritage of Italy. Through her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/2italywego/">Instagram </a>account and collaborations with Appetito magazine, Krista brings to life the genuine flavors, history, and artistry of Italian culture, while also celebrating her Italian-American roots. In addition to her artistic endeavors, Krista dedicates her time to uncovering and sharing authentic Italian flavors and experiences in New York City, bringing the heart of Italy to the Big Apple, one post at a time.
