So these are the goals of the new "consorzio di tutela della pizza napoletana STG" that will be formed by our association and the Pizzaiuoli napoletani association: training and improvement for Chef pizzaiuoli and agreements with the farmers and producers. Also the STG rules respect will be very important and must be controlled. Let's have parties and cheers now, but please don't forget our mission...
