Lara Gilmore

Together with husband Massimo Bottura, Lara launched Food for Soul as a way to redefine the role of traditional community kitchens. Her in-depth knowledge of contemporary art and of the importance of culture and art as tools for inspiring change have been instrumental in the definition of the organisation’s approach and mission. For over twenty years, she has been an integral part of the team of Osteria Francescana, where she works primarily on marketing and communications. As President of Food for Soul, she continues to dedicate her energy and ideas to reach the wider community and involve professionals from all over the world in the mission of the organisation.
