Iginio Massari, the great Master Pastry Chef and President of APEI, could also become relevant at a legislative level in Italy. In fact, it comes from SIGEP 2024 the news that is making the rounds in the national media according to which we are at the final stage of the process for the final approval of the bill “Master of the art of Italian cuisine“, which from today is renamed by the Minister of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry, Francesco Lollobrigida, as “Massari Law”.
From Rimini, Minister Lollobrigida illustrated the provision which will recognize the professions of pastry chefs, chefs and food artisans on a par with what already happens in other countries, such as France, Belgium and Spain.
Next to him, the legendary Iginio Massari, who explained: «In Italy the definition of a profession has never been officially coined. There is a substantial difference between the professional and the craftsman who, with the intelligence of his hands, is able to create beautiful and good products. This law equates us to other nations, starting today from food, but with the hope that it can gradually expand to many other excellent professions.”
