Meet Anna

ANNA BARBON THE SOUL OF AB COMUNICAZIONE

CEO e Press Office Director

With a background in economics, I have loved talking about the food & wine sector for years, in Italy and abroad. I convert strategies into actions, I imagine communication scenarios that can best enhance the brands with which I have the honor of working, and I organize my team in such a way as to give space to the various talents.

Passion, curiosity and enthusiasm are my distinguishing characteristics as well as a never-ending optimism in the face of the challenges I encounter. Every occasion is good for packing my suitcase and traveling to discover the world.

Meet our team

LARA BUSCATO
Account Manager and Press Office Account

With a solid experience in press office and event organization in the wine world, I have learned to weave stories as if they were precious threads of silk. Every drop of wine tells a story, and every bottle is a universe to explore. I fully engage in the journey of the producers I have the pleasure to work alongside, of the territories and the people who work passionately every day, and then create narratives that resonate with authenticity and depth. I am certain that words are not just words, but bridges that connect the heart of every brand to the external world.

Curious and naturally positive, I am often told that I have the gift of instilling serenity, perhaps because I firmly believe in the power of communication that creates a bond, combining empathy and understanding.

In my free time, you can find me in my oasis of peace, the kitchen, where the substance remains the same: it’s the art of creating harmony, of touching the senses, of giving an unforgettable experience. This is the magic that I aim to bring into every aspect of my life both professional and personal.

Press Office Account

Being communicative and curious by nature since a young age, I chose to study languages, literature, and art and then to work in the field of communication, working across editorial work to corporate communication agencies and press offices.

Throughout these years of work, filled with unforgettable journeys, places, encounters, dishes, and wines, I have gained experience by managing numerous projects in the tourism, hospitality, wine, food, design and architecture sectors. Between trips and organizing new events, I unwind and seek concentration by practicing yoga and breathing exercises, disciplines that allow me to discover the best version of myself every day.

SVEVA ALAGNA
Press Office Account

Ever since I was little, I knew exactly what I wanted: to turn my passion for writing into a career, so in 2017 I became a Professional Journalist.

I’ve always written, both as a journalist and Press Office about culture and innovation but also about the intersection between the two worlds. Specifically, I’ve been exploring how cultural institutions are adapting to the digital age, trying to expand and diversify how people engage with them. Passionate about green topics and sustainability, in 2021, I found a new passion: wine. Since then, communicating about it has been as delightful as tasting it.

LINDA FOLTRAN
Account Manager and International Press Office

Always attentive to the new trends in communication (regarding food & wine), I carefully select bits of news, experiences, wine tours for press interlocutors from all over the world.

Every day I communicate the poetry and complexity of ‘Made in Italy’ to cultures that are always different, and I keep with me a deep love for human relationships.

Between one wine experience and another, I always find time for a new recipe or to try out the cuisine of some new restaurant.

CINZIA LUXARDO
International PR Account

Convinced humanist (in possession of a classical high school diploma and a degree in Foreign Languages), as a young girl I loved writing so much that I felt it was a kind of special friend that adhered perfectly to my way of being, to such a degree that I chose it as my favorite way to communicate with myself.

I arrived in the fabulous world of wine & food press offices when I was already grown up, with professional background experiences that were often quite different from each other, and from this advantage I learned the value of adaptability.

Being the megaphone for those who work stalwartly every day aiming at excellence in the name of Made in Italy, is a subtle game of balances, among creativity, empathy, listening, intuition and passion. I believe in the strength of the team because the combination of different talents oriented towards the same objective creates that uniqueness which, if it succeeds in becoming distinctive, can really go a long way.

FEDERICA ZANE
Project Manager & PR

Curious by nature, a lover of challenges, and somewhat nomadic, I studied Oriental languages before working in the field of communication and press offices in companies, agencies, and as a freelancer.

Fascinated by the world of wine, food, and hospitality, I have pursued projects that have allowed me to discover wonderful realities in our country and beyond.

In my free time, I love planning trips, organizing dinners, going out with lifelong friends, and browsing through antique markets.

CHICCA MANCA
Press Office Account

My path was supposed to be different, but then I found myself collaborating by chance with a PR agency in Milan, and there I realized that nothing was more beautiful than that job, which I then made my own.
I took my first steps by working in fashion for several years, and then I transitioned to design and food & wine. I enjoy discovering stories and then telling them, contextualizing them in different worlds.
The storytelling part is what I appreciate most about my work: it’s a form of gathering and sharing passions. Making people discover and become interested through stories is essential for creating important connections, both professional and personal. If you think about it, everything starts with a story.
I love traveling, which I consider a beautiful expression of freedom, contamination, and curiosity. I also enjoy reading and silence, which I find rejuvenating.

ALICE BERTACCO
Press Office Account

I define myself as a passionate storyteller of Made in Italy, I love narrating the stories of the various realities, big and small, that make our country unique. With a solid background in the luxury sector, I have now immersed myself in the world of wine, an Italian excellence that fascinates and inspires me every day. My dynamic and eclectic personality translates into an insatiable curiosity for the world around me, while my passion for languages has led me to significant international experiences, including six months in New York, where I’ve improved my English and I’ve enriched my cultural knowledge.

In my free time, I usually book flights.

SARA BRAZZALOTTO
Social Media Account

The world of communication has always fascinated me; even during my teenage years, I had clear ideas about it. So, with no surprise I ended up pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Public Relations and Corporate Communication. Over time, I also discovered a deep passion for digital marketing and for social media in general—a passion I’m still refining to this day.

When I’m not scrolling through Instagram, I’m busy planning small trips or adventures to taste-test new dishes and products. I believe food might just be my second passion… or maybe my first?

Someone might say that ‘I write things, I see people, I taste wine”. However, that would be an oversimplified picture. Communicating about wine and its terroir, for me, means conveying their value and beauty with care and aesthetic taste, through writing, social media, and customer relationships.

I’ve been working in the field of communication for almost 20 years: what started as a personal passion for wine gradually became the focus of my career. After starting out in institutional communication, I’ve had various roles in agencies and built up a long and solid experience as a freelancer, which continues to this day.

In my free time I enojoy team sports, the mountains, and anything that leaves me with good memories and no regrets.

GIORGIA FONTANINI
Office Manager

I’ve always had a natural inclination towards sociability and empathy: my gift lies in understanding people’s needs at first glance. This ability led me to pursue a career always in contact with the public. I’ve worked in various sectors, but it was in the field of communication that I found my true calling. In particular, I’ve become passionate about the food and wine industry because I believe that food and wine are the essence of conviviality and sharing.

Thanks to my experience and passion, I can convey emotions through my stories and create authentic connections with people. I’m determined, creative, and always up for new challenges that allow me to grow personally and professionally.

GLORIA ZANATTA
Administrative Manager

Since I was a child, I’ve always been fascinated by numbers—a passion that has guided my educational and professional choices, leading me to delve into economic subjects and gradually build a career in administration.
I have worked in both Italian and international settings, always approaching challenges with dedication, enthusiasm, and a practical mindset.

Alongside my professional growth, there is another equally important part of me: my role as a mother. I strongly believe in the balance between family and work—two aspects of my life that I approach with enthusiasm, determination, and passion.

I am a dynamic, curious person, always ready to step out of my comfort zone and take on new challenges, with the goal of continuously growing both personally and professionally.
