Sydney Chef Killed in Bali Motorcycle Crash
11 Feb
Summary
- A Sydney-based Italian chef tragically died in Bali.
- He was holidaying with friends when the fatal accident occurred.
- A fundraiser for his return to Italy met its goal rapidly.
A tragic motorcycle accident in Bali has claimed the life of Davide Vulpis, a chef who had been living and working in Sydney for at least a year. Vulpis, originally from Terlizzi, Italy, was on holiday with friends when the crash occurred earlier this week. He was known for his work at Cibaria, a restaurant located at the Manly Pacific Hotel.
His heartbroken family quickly organized a fundraiser to cover the costs of cremation, legal matters, and transporting his ashes back to Italy. The campaign impressively surpassed its $12,000 goal within hours, thanks to an outpouring of support. His brother Christian expressed profound gratitude for the generosity shown during their difficult time.
Vulpis had previously worked as a head chef in Ibiza and as a private caterer. Tributes from friends have flooded social media, remembering his vibrant energy and the impact he had on their lives. His death follows another recent fatal scooter crash in Bali involving an Australian man.
