This is, more or less, what happened thanks to the presence of <strong>Denis Lovatel<\/strong>, born in Alano di Piave, Belluno, at <em>FoodExp<\/em>. \n\n\nHe brought his \u201cmountain\u201d pizzas and his Dolomite philosophy to Lecce during a highly attended masterclass. After absorbing the rigorous gastronomic traditions of his homeland (and of his father, one of the first pizza makers in the area), <strong>Denis<\/strong> successfully blended them with contemporary influences, exporting them first to Milan (across four different locations) and later even to the Bahamas. \n\n\nHis pizza is thin, crispy, and features a modest crust, much like the ones he always saw being baked back home. During the masterclass, he prepared a pizza capable of uniting two elements, both staples of \"cucina povera\" (peasant cooking) but from opposite ends of the world: onion and macambo, a fruit from the Ecuadorian Amazon. In Latin America, indigenous populations have used this fruit as a subsistence food for millennia; choosing it today allows those same communities to support themselves economically. The pizza was finished with chives, pecorino fondue, and orange gel.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Se il Salento non va alla montagna, tocca alla montagna andare in Salento.
