67 FOOD-AND-DRINK • PASTRY • GELATO Brazil, that vast and mysterious land inspiring dreams of freedom, is today one of the areas in the world experiencing the greatest socio-economic development. The Accademia Bi- gatton network could not fail to be actively involved in the development of the gelato sec- tor in this stupendous country. The Chiappetta family, which has had an historic presence in the catering market spanning three generations, has created an Academy workspace in San Paolo. Coordinated by Adriano Chiappetta, an expert in gelato making and creative cuisine, is supported by the President, Alfredo Chiap- petta, and his son Renato. In this Academy as in others, the courses for gelato and confec- tionery are organised according to the rigorous standards of the Accademia Bigatton system, and make natural use of local raw materials pro- duced by Brazil’s flourishing agricultural sector.
