    The lives of 2 Italian imports to UK Antonio Carluccio Antonio Carluccio was born in Vietri sul Mare, in the province of Salerno, Campania, the fifth of six children of Giovanni Carluccio, a stationmaster from a family of Benevento bookbinders, and his wife Maria Trivellone. He moved when he was young and to Castelnuovo Belbo and Borgofranco d'Ivrea. Living in an area with great vegetation, as a child he would hunt through the forest for different mushrooms and other funghi with his father. After leaving school he did his compulsory one year of military service in the Italian Navy. After the navy, he worked briefly as a journalist with La Stampa in Turin and then as a technician and sales representative for typewriter manufacturer Olivetti. Carluccio moved to Vienna at age 21 to study languages. He lived in Germany from 1962 to 1975, working as a wine merchant in Hamburg. He moved to the United Kingdom in 1975 to work as a wine merchant, importing Italian wines. He was appointed manager of Terence Conran's (his brother-in-law) Neal Street Restaurant in London's Covent Garden in 1981, and became its owner in 1989. Under Carluccio, British celebrity chef Jamie Oliver began his professional career at the Neal Street Restaurant, which closed in 2006. Carluccio wrote twenty books on Italian cuisine. He appeared on BBC television in the ‘Food and Drink Programme’, and in his own series ‘Antonio Carluccio's Italian Feasts’ in 1996. In 2011, his travels around Italy with Gennaro Contaldo were filmed for the four-part BBC Two series ‘Two Greedy Italians’; a second series, ‘Two Greedy Italians: Still Hungry’ was shown the following year.
