PUNTOITALY N°1 -January - June 2012

THE ITALIAN MAGAZINE FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS IN GELATO, CONFECTIONERY AND TRENDY FOOD-AND-DRINK Editorial G elato, spaghetti, pizza, espresso... Typical Italian products, appre- ciated the whole world round, so much so that the words are un- translatable! The made-in-Italy brand in the gelato, patisserie and catering sectors is universally recognised as a guarantee of quality, innovation and creativity! I n terms of food, Italy is trendy, just as it is with Italian fashion and Ita- lian racing cars. Everywhere, the culture of eating well is associated with our country... the land of saints, of poets... but also of chefs, pa- stry cooks, and gelato makers! T his new international magazine aims to carry news, curiosities, recipes, and information about “planet Italy” all around the world - Italy as seen at table or at the patisserie or gelato counter. PuntoItaly is an instrument of knowledge and a means of communication that is entirely dedicated to foreign operators interested in developing their businesses. A wide range of manufacturing companies, products, equipment and accessories relevant to foreign markets are featured in this first number. We trust that you, the operators, who receive PuntoItaly, or pick up a copy at one of the international expos at which we will be present, or receive the electronic version directly at your e-mail address, will find the magazine stimulating and useful for delving deeper into the subject of “Italy”, and will contact some of the many enterprises whose details are to be found here. A ll the best with your work - and enjoy the read! Franco Cesare Puglisi
