Ennio Colaiezzi starts his collaboration from Australia with the story of the brilliant Pidapipò, an Italian gelateria in Melbourne
My adventure in Australia is the simple result of nature’s call to explore. Two months of holiday Down Under have turned into 6 years. Melbourne is beautiful. I’ve become part of a project called DOC and found myself beside that genius of Tony Nicolini who taught me a lot about food and restaurants. This training allowed me to travel, discover and research. There are beautiful stories connected with food in this corner of the world. Paolo Marchi and Carlo Passera, happy and curious of listening to some of these, gave me the thumbs up to share. So let’s start…
In Melbourne, Lisa Valmorbida’s grandfather used to consider “pidapipò” a smirk like many others, to be paired with a visible gesture. For his grandchildren, now adults, Pidapipò is now a vision in the shape of an ice cream cone. The good kind. With a backstory, which is a flight to Italy, destination Università del Gelato Carpigiani. Lisa spent some time there; then, once she had learnt the technique, she decided to acquire experience in the best ice cream shops. Her goal was clear: she wanted to bring an authentic Italian gelato to Australia.

While you gulp your ice cream here comes a grandfather taking his grandchild by the hand, waiting for their turn. Makes you smile from the heart.
