Alessandro Merlo and his wife Souadou Niang
The previous episode ended with these words pronounced by chef and patron Alessandro Merlo 'in Africa, relationships like problems and reality are very different than from Italy.' Piedmontese, from Acqui Terme (Alessandria), his career began as a sommelier and continued as a chef. First, he worked in the United States and France, then for the past seven years he’s been here in Senegal, in the capital Dakar, where he opened boutique hotel The Palms, restaurant Noliane, a café-bistro, also called Noliane, and a wine bar called Ella's, which are the names of his two daughters.
