My story has been linked to crafts and white arts for 4 generations . An anecdote that we always want to tell is the one that during the film “La Ciociara” by Vittorio De Sica all the production of bread and sweets was made by my grandfather Salvatore . There are some scenes in the film where children eat dark bread . Why dark? Because the grandfather began to produce cocoa-flavored bread for the children to eat voraciously since it was a film set during the war and it was necessary to point out that there was a lot of hunger.
I grew up among the smells and flavors of the past , when simple things were the best and this is what led me to the passion for pastry art . All this baggage of sensations I have brought with me over the years and it is a great satisfaction to find it every day in my confectionery creations. DiCristian is my pastry shop , where tradition meets innovation, creating a perfect combination.
