The success of the format
T
he third edition of the event Pizza&core Exhibit was a successful one, as the former twos were. Perhaps is the number three a perfect number, as a matter of facts this third edition was very appreciated by the many visitors who came to Ristoprof halls in Monopoli (Bari), to participate in the event. The format comes from the winning idea of facilitating the meeting among Italian and foreigner firms and their technicians and experts, all together in a masterclass thought to host cooking show. The location are the halls of Ristoprof, which are adequate wide and cosy, thought for the audience: pizza makers, restaurant owners, catering experts, professionals and young beginners, owners of the old famous pizza restaurants and owners of the new opening ones. Together with them, owners of multi-functions cafés and bistros. The event was open to all people who want to meet technicians and top companies of the pizza sector. The partners of the event brought on the stage of Pizza Exhibit their demonstrations, followed by the cameras of the direction, in an interactive formula with the audience. During the masterclass the participants could learn new techniques, by making direct questions and receiving exhausting answers,
all this in an “informal” lesson, made also of amusements and characterized by the lightness of a show. At the Pizza&core Exhibit was also present the beverage sector, a very essential element of the catering sector, with some tasting moments and B2B. During the event was proposed a “taste challenge” called “Pizza al Buio”. The event started with the demo prepared by the Italian firm Molino Caputo with the show called “La pizza contemporanea” and its evolutions with Nuvola, a 100% natural flour, in addition with “Lievito Secco Attivo” cared by the technician and pizza maker Vincenzo Iannucci.

Maria Cacialli
“La Figlia del Presidente” from Naples to South Korea has nowadays become an international brand. The owner of the pizza restaurant is an international star too, a brand: eclectic and cheerful, she has got in herself something of the black and white diva Sophia Loren and contemporarily she is full of colours like the modern Instagram influencers, because she loves photography, she is very attentive to the social media, she is also a TV star and a very dynamic manager. We have the honour to know the “intimate” Maria, the one that is a woman of the past, devoted to the family and to her job. Maria is above all a mother and a wife, then she is a famous pizzaiola, daughter of a famous pizza maker, Ernesto Cacialli. She is a Neapolitan in the blood, as we could easily understand from her smiling face, her traditional values and the ability to re-invent herself continuously, as her father taught her. Ernesto was a “noble” man of the folk, “noble” hearted man. He used to help people in state of need, he diffused his idea of pizza all around the world. Maria inherited this characteristics from him, by representing the pizza world, which is also the most important and fair side of the city of Naples. In our magazine she proposes a classical version of her pizza: the fried pizza, a typical product of Naples, as famous as the Margherita is. A big generous delicious pizza. The traditional recipe contemplates “Provola and ciccioli of pork” in the stuffing. The “ciccioli” are a typical product obtained by the processing of pork fat which is also used for the preparation of “strutto”. In her pizza restaurant Maria Cacialli uses the products by the dairy Euroiovine from Campania.
