This is what makes the Almanacco della Pizza – a part of which is accessible to all, online, or you can buy the deluxe printed version which will be presented during the 2019 edition of PizzaUp®. It’s the new project of Molino Quaglia, a preview of which Chiara Quaglia and Piero Gabrieli presented at the Identità Milano 2019 congress:
