Laura Caponetti Brezzi's
background in hotel and
restaurant consulting
(i.e. Villa D'Este at
Cernobbio and Costa
Smeralda Hotels), a
degree in Italian
Gastronomic History, and
years of practical
application, give her a
unique pedigree to teach
the secrets of her own
cooking and of Italian
"eating culture". Laura,
and her husband Giorgio,
live in the beautiful
town of Tuscania, Italy
which is about an hour
northwest of Rome.
There, they have a 125
acre farm, with
beautiful gardens and a
wonderful villa. Laura
runs a cooking school
there, where she uses
fresh, local ingredients
in her recipes. Read
more about Laura at

For Michael Hursey,
cooking is not a job it
is his passion. His
early exposure to
Midwest hospitality has
made his dream now
become a reality at Casa
Somerset. Working side
by side with farmers and
chefs has helped him
incorporate his travels
and culinary skills to
create a special dining
experience at his
beautiful Italian style
villa in Paola.
Bring your own wine;
there will be no corking
fee for these fantastic
events. Mike met Laura
in Italy 12 years ago,
has attended her cooking
school, and considers
the Caponetti’s his
Italian family. Please
join us for one (or
more) of the delightful
events with Laura and
Mike at Casa Somerset!
Reservations are
required, and seating is
limited.
