The Milano Files
The Milano Files champions the food, wine, beverage, and lifestyle culture of Milan - home to Italy's most electric food scene. Host Jaclyn DeGiorgio, who considers herself Milan's cheerleader-in-chief, is a food tour guide as well as a food, wine, and travel writer who's lived in the Lombard capital for over a decade. The fiercest champion for her adopted city and its surroundings you'll ever meet, Jaclyn celebrates Milan's, and most of Northern Italy's, overlooked, though no less noteworthy allure--especially on the food front.
