1.7 million viewers tune in to watch 85-year-old Nonna Marianna cook sugo ai piselli or make espresso on her grandson Giuseppe’s account (@sepps_eats). Elsewhere, 77-year-old Nonna Fina (@mynonnafina) is seen being pranked by her granddaughter Maddie, ranking Met Gala looks, and sharing her recipe for lemon biscuits.
And then there is 84-year-old Nonna Silvi (@nonnasilvioffical), who can be found at work at her son’s bakery, Forno Martini, explaining to 1.6 million followers (with a trademark thick Florentine accent) how to prepare pasta con tonno or schiacciata Toscana.
