Cracco director of La Cucina Italiana backstage – Italian Cuisine


Cracco editor for a month of our beloved magazine. With a lot, a lot, of self-irony.

I assure you: when I entered our studios and saw Maurizio Cattelan, in person, who shot the cover of the month of October with Carlo Cracco intent on "ironing" an egg, I said to myself: maybe we really get there at Unesco. A September afternoon: music on set, joyful atmosphere despite Covid restrictions and masks. Cattelan takes it off to photograph because we are few and all at a distance. And then, to get in tune, he cuts out an old (terrible) image of Cracco when he went to the hotel (it is true that some men improve with age) and sticks it on his T-shirt with adhesive tape.

We joked with the mayonnaise, with Carlo Cracco (extremely available) who sprinkled his face like a moisturizer. You can see the photo here and only here for now, then on social media because it is not in the magazine. The pinnacle: if you think that the egg on the chef's nose is a Photoshop effect … nein! Cattelan cut out Carlo's face, and then broke a real egg on it. At the end of the day I found Carlo's photo on my back without even realizing it!
