Gossip Magazines sometimes tell stories about men who made dreams and deeds come true, characterising them with legendary tones, as to remark the greatness of their achievements. This is not his case, or at least, not totally. This is the story of a dreamer who, with obstinacy and stubbornness, is achieving a small deed: bringing his land out of its confines through his kitchen, his behaviour and his unique and contradictory Sicilian personality. He is Paolo Gatto, born in one of the most fascinating lands of the word, Sicily and specifically in Taormina, where the sky and the ground meet among the hills and the jasmine perfume pervades the town’s alleys. Paolo is a chef, but he is also a traveler, a true lover of taste. He is curious and it was maybe his curiosity the one who pushed him to go living in such a faraway country but still much tied up to his destiny. Nonno Paolo, his name was Paolo too, lived for 26 years in Queensland, before going back forever in Sicily in the 70’s. The two of them took diametrically opposite choices: one decided to go back to Sicily, the other one to come back to Australia. It was here, in fact, that he could find some rich soil to nourish his dreams of glory. He worked hard, doing even three jobs a day before being able to put enough funds aside to open his first restaurant, Gatto Matto
