Born in Parma, Farinotti made his debut as a poet and novelist.[3][4][5] Later he became known for his work as a food analyst, critic and essayist,[6][7][8][9][10][11] as well as a sports biographer.[12]
Food works
Farinotti offers a deep analysis of the current state of the world of food (as a standardized, homologated vortex of sponsorships and TV shows).[13][14] His books #mondoristorante and ReInstaurant have received the highest acknowledgments from Italian critics.[15][16]
Farinotti was testimonial for UNESCO City of gastronomy;[17] he wrote the official guide for Parma Capital of Culture Best Restaurants & Food Producers,[18] and works for many Italian and international food magazines and journals.[19]
Sports books
Farinotti is the official biographer of many Italian athletes, including the Olympic silver medal Rachele Bruni,[20][21] the tennis player Sara Errani,[22] the women's national softball team[23] and some international soccer players.[24]
He writes about sport and lifestyle for several newspapers: Avvenire, Times of Malta, La Madia Travelfood, Gazzetta di Parma, Italiani.it and La Repubblica.[25][26]
