Dough making, stretching and cooking of the pizza will be the covered topics, of course everything according to AVPN International Regulations, to give life to true Neapolitan pizza.

A work that will be the tangible symbol of the UNESCO recognition, which took place in 2017, of "The traditional art of the Neapolitan pizza-maker" as an intangible heritage of humanity.

"It will be - underlines Antonio Pace, President of AVPN - the largest spreading operation, on a global level, of the True Neapolitan Pizza and the art of the Neapolitan pizza-maker. Sant’Antuono feast, recently rediscovered as a moment of celebration for an entire category, will cross the borders of Naples and Italy for the first time. It will be an important day for a profession that in the past has been too often denigrated and which today can rightly be considered a source of pride for the whole country. An initiative that also aims to support those who are suffering more than others from the economic consequences of the delicate historical period we are facing ".

Each masterclass can be followed on the Facebook pages of AVPN, its delegations, its institutional and commercial partners and on those of all affiliates scattered all over the world.
