About Luca Marinelli, Chef at iL Posto 97
My name is Luca Marinelli. I’m a chef of the Italian restaurant Il Posto 97 in Hong-Kong.
I was born on the 30th of March 1985 in Varese, North-Western Lombardy, in northern Italy. As my parent separated since I was young, I was raised by my mother in Varese, and during weekends say every 2 weeks I would alternate and spend time with my father who lived in Milan.
I grew up playing sports, I was into basketball from 6 to 15 years old, then I switched to football when I was 16 until now. I was a quite a cheeky and mischievous kid at school, I could never sit still and didn’t quite fit into the academically based schooling system there, but my favourite class was geography and PE.
