Join Spuntino for an evening celebrating the tastes of Verona with guest speaker Massimo Galvano. Born and raised in Rome, and having completed his studies in business management, Massimo arrived in the U.S. in 1991 with stars in his eyes as a young boxer. He worked in the restaurant business in New York City in a variety of roles for 12 years. Some even referred to him as one of the “Maccioni” during his years at Maitre d’ at Le Cirque and Osteria del Circo.

Pursuing a passion in wine, he has achieved the Advanced Wine Accreditation from the renowned Windows on the World program, as well as the WSET Certificate and Higher Certificate from the Wine and Spirits Education Trust of London.

Massimo joined Kobrand in 2005 as the Italian Wine Director. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife and 9-year-old son, and tries to make the time every year to return to Italy to visit family as well as suppliers.
