There followed several years of practise and professional experiences, the most important of which, according to Andrea Galli, was his time at the restaurant «Aimo e Nadia» in Milan from 1994 to 1998. «It was a landmark event in my professional career», he confi rms. «It wasn’t easy handling the huge workload, but the time I spent there was formative for my future».
