Parasecoli was born in Rome, and studied contemporary Chinese history for two years in Beijing University under a graduate fellowship before obtaining a PhD in agricultural sciences with a focus on gender and nutrition from Hohenheim University. He moved to the United States of America in 1998, initially working as the US correspondent for Gambero Rosso.[2] He later worked as a professor at The New School, before moving to NYU Steinhardt.[1] His 2008 book Bite Me! Food in Popular Culture was praised as "a necessary addition to the analysis of the popular and the edible".[3] His writing style has been criticised as being excessively complicated.[4] In 2018, Parasecoli started a three year long research project examining the renewed interest towards traditional, local and regional food in Poland through a grant received from the National Science Centre.[5] In 2022 he received a grant from the Spanish Ministry of Culture and Sport for a project on cultural heritage and design.[6]
