This year, for the second edition, he made a different choice and involved chef and pizzaioli friends from other countries, creating a fun and unique calendar of events.

The next protagonist is Gianfranco Iervolino, one of the most famous pizzaioli of Italy. He will be followed by Francesco Gasbarro, who conquered a Michelin star in Switzerland only 5 months after opening.

Here is the calendar: July 12 Tomaz Kavic (Restaurant Gostilna Pri Lojzetu di Zemono – Slovenia); July 20 Gennaro Nasti (Pizzeria Bijou di Paris – France); August 10 Gianfranco Iervolino (Pizzeria Gianfranco Iervolino Morsi e Rimorsi, Aversa); August 15 Simone Fracassi (Antica Macelleria Fracassi di Castel Focognano); August 22 Francesco Gasbarro (Bottega Trattoria Geneva – Switzerland); August 30 Simone Fortunato (Pizzeria Diaz Portici, Naples); September 4 Giovanni Santarpia (Pizzeria Santarpia, Florence); September 29 Laurent Lemal (Restaurant Riberach di Lébesta – France); October 12 Joachim Koerper (Restaurant Eleven from Lisbon – Portugal).
