Meet Maestro Francesco Bologna.

Francesco Bologna is a recognized professional whose passion for pizza and baking began at a young age. After graduating from the V. Titone Technical Institute for Hotel and Restaurant Services in Castelvetrano in 2010, he continued his journey with internships and collaborations at renowned luxury hotels, working alongside Michelin-starred chefs. Specializing in the art of gourmet pizza and alternative doughs, Francesco has refined a technique that combines craftsmanship, creativity, and a deep knowledge of raw materials. His dedication led him to establish an artisan production workshop, where exceptional products such as bread, pizza, pinsa, pastries, and large leavened goods are created, all made with high-quality, Italian-sourced ingredients.
