Francesco Maccapani Missoni is the son of Angela Missoni and Marco Maccapani and the grandson of Tai and Rosita Missoni, founders of the eponymous fashion brand. He was born in 1985 and grew up in the countryside near Milan, surrounded by his noisy extended family. He studied architecture at university and is passionate about design, cinema and contemporary art. He now runs a startup based in Milan and is, as they affectionately say, una buona forchetta (a foodie). Food and cooking are her passions, with a strong emphasis on family traditions, sustainable sources, local produce and fresh seasonal ingredients.

The Missoni Family Cookbook features a preview of close family friend Quincy Jones, whose career has encompassed roles as composer, record producer, recording artist, film producer, arranger, conductor, instrumentalist, television producer, magazine founder, multimedia entrepreneur, author and humanitarian. . He was named one of the most influential artists of the 20th century by Time magazine and in 2010 received the National Medal of Arts, the nation's highest artistic honor. Today, in addition to his extensive non-profit work with NGOs such as Unicef, Jones manages and mentors a roster of young musicians. Francesco is very proud to have prepared meals and exchanged recipes with his honorary “uncle” and to have met the approval of this accomplished talent scout and this good forchetta.
