A Special Bond and a Favorite Dish
Michael Schumacher's "Italian mum," chef Rossella Giannini, speaks out about the F1 legend's tragic skiing accident and their special bond. She also reveals his favorite meal at her restaurant, Montana.
A Beautiful Relationship
Rossella Giannini owns and runs the Montana restaurant in Fiorano Modense, just a two-minute drive from Ferrari's factory. Schumacher, who achieved five of his seven championships with the help of machinery from that factory, would visit the restaurant almost every day after race practice. The chef recalls their beautiful relationship, which started when Schumacher first stepped inside her restaurant on February 14, 1996.
A Favorite Dish
Schumacher's all-time favorite dish at Rossella's restaurant was "Tagliatelle Al Ragu," a classic bolognese dish prepared with veal. In exceptional cases, he would also order garlic and oil spaghetti.
A World Collapsed
Upon hearing the news of Schumacher's skiing accident, Rossella says her world collapsed. She recalls learning about the severity of his injuries and struggling to come to terms with the situation. However, she has since made peace with it and remembers the beautiful moments they shared.
Hopes for a Reunion
Rossella no longer wants to be a bother to Schumacher or his relatives, but she hopes that one day he will walk through the doors of her restaurant again. She looks at the front door every day, waiting for the chance to make him his favorite dish once more.
