Enrico Bertolino a Discorsi in Osteria | Dalla banca al palco, una vita in cambiamento | EP.15

In this episode, Chef Cesare Battisti welcomes Enrico Bertolino, comedian, actor, and trainer, to his table for a brilliant conversation that explores their very different lives: his childhood in 1970s Milan, his work with his father, a plumber, his years in banking, his late breakthrough in comedy, and his relationship with a stage that he still loves to infuse with music, video, and satire. Through irresistible anecdotes and surprising reflections, Bertolino recounts a city that no longer exists, the journeys that have shaped him—from Brazil to Nigeria to the Camino de Santiago—and the value of experiences that change you silently. He also discusses family, his relationship with his daughter, sincere cooking, trattorias, dishes without gimmicks, and that emotional memory that comes from a forkful of homemade gnocchi. But what is Enrico Bertolino's favorite dish, cooked by Chef Battisti?
