Lara is a descendent of the Ottolini family from Gordevio, Switzerland. She worked in a Locarno shoe shop for nearly 10 years, then, in 1998, she began working in her Aunt’s restaurant in Aurigeno. When her Aunt Nevis retires, Lara intends to take over the restaurant.

Lara’s hobby is genealogy. She has researched the Ottolini family from Gordevio, Switzerland, and has provided virtually all of the Ottolini family data contained in this genealogical record of the Morelli family. She has also provided much of the information about the Vanoni Borra family from Aurigeno.
