A smiling chat, between two people who hold a good opinion of one another, and share a well-established friendship, opens the masterclass with Franco Pepe at Identità on the road 2020: sitting in front of the pizzaiolo voted best in the world multiple times, the creator of Identità Golose Paolo Marchi starts by recalling the story of the Pepe family and the deep connection between Franco and the breadmaking tradition of his grandfather and father: «I have so many memories related to this - Pepe smiled – and it's a story characterised by a strong continuity. Even though I took a different road with my studies, I always spent my evenings in the pizzeria, since I was a kid. Continuity is truly the crucial word: starting from my grandfather in the Thirties, and then continuing with my father, my family has always made bread. Always».
