EDITORIAL New horizons! We have started up again! Some specialized exhibitions have already taken place, with a good turnout of visitors and professionals. You can feel the strong desire to go back to “normalcy” and to meet up once again. We exhibited our publications in Bari at Levante Prof, with many people and very few rules… then in Lyon for Sirha, which saw the Italian team triumph at the Pastry World Cup. Afterwards we travelled to Milan for Host - Tutto Food, where we saw many professionals once again. Shortly afterwards, we “landed” in Dubai for the Speciality Food Festival, and we are now preparing to head off to Mig in Longarone. All very positive experiences, but… But the pandemic is not giving up, and now as we are going to press with this dossier, we are in the middle of a fourth wave of infections, especially in Europe. The much-discussed “green passes” are increasingly shaping the new boundaries of mobility, drawing new horizons to which we must refer. You get vaccinated and you work; you don’t get vaccinated, and you remain blocked: you cannot fly, you cannot travel, you cannot work, you cannot live. In January, we will be heading to Sigep in Rimini, full of expectations. Afterwards, we will travel to Stuttgart, and here too we have to cross our fingers. We need to hang in there. It isn’t easy, but it is absolutely necessary. In the meantime, you will find lots of news and suggestions in this issue of SweetMood, dedicated to multiple Italian excellencies. Until our next meeting, better if in person. Franco Cesare Puglisi 7
