Nonna Silvi, a cooking influencer who conquered social media, has died

"In this period you have no longer seen our videos. The reason is a fulminant illness which, in just twenty days, took Nonna Silvi away. For many of you she was Nonna Silvi. For us, simply, grandmother. She left us surrounded by the love of her family, with her children and grandchildren by her side, until her last breath", we read in the post. "She remained lucid until the end. Even in those moments she continued to talk to us, to ask what there was to do and how the work was going. As she had always done: with her thoughts turned to her family and the things we had built together. A unique woman, of rare strength, who gave every single bit of energy she had in her body to the family", wrote the woman's children and grandchildren. Then, here's the announcement: "With grandmother we had a dream and very clear objectives. The company will be closed for two days of mourning. Then we will start again, more determined than before, taking with us everything she taught us". So, a final greeting: "With grandma watching over us from up there, we will do everything to ensure that the dream we had together continues to live on. Have a safe trip, Grandma. Teach us how to make desserts up there too."

Nonna Silvi's activity began in 2022, when her grandchildren Gabriele and Simone Martini began making videos while she was cooking inside the Forno Martini in Castelfiorentino, owned by the family. The videos quickly went viral on social media, reaching around 4.3 million followers on Instagram, 2.1 million on TikTok and over one million on Facebook. In 2024 she went to Qatar to cook for the Al-Thani royal family, the following year she received recognition from Forbes and the 2025 TikTok Award.

Nonna Silvi's funeral is scheduled for Monday afternoon in Montespertoli, in the church of Sant'Andrea.
