{"title":"Stefano's Pasta Sauces","description":"\u003cp\u003eStefano de Pieri was born in Treviso, near Venice. He migrated to Australia in 1974. Stefano attended Sydney Road Community School in Brunswick and went on to Melbourne University. He graduated in Politics and Italian Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStefano became actively involved in many community causes from the moment he came to Australia. He edited an Italian fortnightly newspaper called \u003cem\u003eNuovo Paese\u003c\/em\u003e through which he came into contact with many political and cultural identities. He dabbled with food – always his passion – in the early eighties, training for a little while in a professional environment, but finally chose a job in the Victorian Public Service. He became a private secretary to Minister Peter Spyker and then an adviser to a number of Ethnic Affairs Ministers. He married Donata Carrazza in 1991 and settled in Mildura at the same time. Together they had two children, Domenico and Claudia.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe was impressed with local produce and wine – but was frustrated by the lack of recognition of the district. He began imagining a book that would include his food memories from his native Veneto and the produce of Mildura. The book took the title of \u003cem\u003eA Gondola on the Murray\u003c\/em\u003e after it was accepted by the ABC. It was then turned into the television series of the same name.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStefano’s Restaurant became the recipient of many prestigious awards and continues to attract the support of many patrons.
