Giovanni Senese’s participation in TuttoFood 2026—the international food and beverage trade show held in Milan—was a resounding success. Over the course of the four-day event, Senese stood out as a key figure, cementing his status as one of the most authoritative voices in contemporary pizza-making within his generation.
Two events, in particular, captured the attention of critics, journalists, and industry professionals, becoming highlights of the fair.
The first, hosted at the Nolano stand, celebrated the excellence of Campania’s “red gold” (tomatoes); here, Senese combined his renowned mastery of dough-making with a meticulous focus on raw ingredients and agricultural sustainability. The second show-cooking session, held on the Sorì stand’s stage, showcased the art of traditional dairy products, highlighting the pizzaiolo’s technical skill in striking a harmonious balance between innovation and culinary heritage.
At both events, the large crowds and keen interest from the specialized press confirmed the strength of a clear vision: Senese’s approach is one of “signature cuisine” applied to contemporary pizza, where a “garden-to-pizza” philosophy translates into a distinctive, accessible gastronomic experience deeply rooted in the local territory.
“Milan and TuttoFood gave me an incredible energy boost,” says Giovanni Senese. “The two show-cooking sessions with Nolano and Sorì were the perfect opportunity to share my evolution and the deep respect I hold for the land and for producers who, like me, pursue uncompromising excellence. All of this serves as a powerful inspiration for what lies ahead.” This positive reception comes at a pivotal moment in Senese’s career.
Indeed, the TuttoFood 2026 experience marks a significant milestone and serves as the prelude to a highly anticipated new chapter: a return to his roots with a new venture in Campania. An upcoming project that will allow Senese to further redefine the standards of contemporary pizza in the area that best represents him.
