About the Author
Dawn Mattera, a second-generation Italian-American, was born in Providence, RI, and has lived in various places including Florence, Italy. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering and has written both motivational and informational articles for several international organizations. In 1992, Dawn was over-worked, over-extended and overweight. Sick and tired of being sick and tired, she lost almost 40 pounds. This inspired her to re-do favorite Italian recipes to better fit a healthy lifestyle. Dawn has given numerous presentations on style, healthy living and motivation including live TV demonstrations. Dawn travels to Italy at least once a year, and always explores new regions and, of course, their cuisine. She is still conducting scientific research for the best gelato.
