L’AcquaBuona – an online wine and food magazine born in 1999 - and pizzeria Apogeo, a point of reference for high quality pizza thanks to the passion and skills of Massimo Giovannini are the organisers of the event.

«This festival was born form the need to give value to high quality pizza in Tuscany – says Giovannini to Identità Golose – Today there are many successful establishments in my region, and their chefs’ talent is acknowledged by guides too. This is why we chose to widen the programme, from two to three days, and to include the participation of five famous pizza chefs. It will be a chance to confront ourselves and work together».

On top of Giovannini, the other featured pizza chefs will be Paolo Pannacci (Lo Spela di Greve in Chianti, Fi) and Giovanni Battiloro (La Kambusa di Massarosa, Lu)

on Monday; Graziano Monogrammi (La Divina Pizza, Firenze) and Giovanni Santarpia (Santarpia, Firenze) on Tuesday.

On Wednesday the five pizza chefs will all work together.

«We’re very happy about the programme, I’ll have a chance to work side by side with four great pizza chefs. We’re united by the fact we use Molino Quaglia flour. Apart from that, confronting our different styles of work will be very useful». 

Giovannini also told us his current projects: «I’m still researching on dough. I’m trying to make it even tastier, easier to digest and healthier and I pay lots of attention to diet issues. I can state this without false modesty that my dough has never been better».

The tasting at Lieviti d’Autore will be open to the public. The entrance will be free, tastings will be available through tokens, starting from 1 euro. Gates will open at 6 p.m. Info: www.lievitidautore.it
