PizzAut it is a unique project in Italy. Nicola Acampora, who founded it, is unique, the guys who work thanks to him are unique, and the support encountered along the way from Bosch Italia is unique, totally conquered by the energy that animates the entire team. Because of this, Bosch Italywhich has always been engaged in social responsibility activities, dedicated to breaking down prejudices and promoting inclusion, has decided to continue the path begun with PizzAut in 2022, with a new #LikeABosch Pizza, to support the new PizzAut project, the new fleet of food trucks.

What is PizzAut

PizzAut is one Onlus dedicated to the employability of autistic people: a group of dreamers, as they define themselves, who are committed to building a human and social future for people who suffer from autism, more or less severe. Pizza is at the center of the project, the kids are trained and employed in the two restaurants opened in Lombardy, in Cassina De’ Pecchi and Monza. Above all, they are placed in a social and working context, which however has the warmth of a family: in this way, they can escape the isolation to which they are often forced. Many of them, in fact, live exclusively at home with their families or in dedicated structures. It happens, in pizzerias, that we see people transformed who were previously closed in on themselves, thanks to the love with which they are welcomed, valued and encouraged even in relationships with people who are not from their very close family circle. The commitment of the founder Nico Acampora is daily, not only in the two clubs, with the kids: his work is almost a “mission” once to raise everyone’s awareness, to create a new collective consciousness, more aware and more inclusive, with a series of different initiatives, the most intense of which is aimed at schools hosted in pizzerias, where Nico and his boys talk to schoolchildren at the table. Success is guaranteed: we were able to personally experience, over lunch at the pizzeria, how captivating Nico can be, and how sweet and enthusiastic his kids are.

Bosch and Pizza #LikeABosch

The support of Bosh Italia was fundamental for the opening of the second restaurant, inaugurated last April and today already everything booked until January: in fact, the Pizza #LikeABosh initiative was born in December 2022: for every #LikeABosh pizza ordered and paid for at PizzAt, Bosch doubled the proceeds, donating it to the non-profit organization. This year the initiative returns for the entire Christmas period: the special pizza #LikeABosch is called GourmAut, and aims to support the new PizzAut project dedicated to the fleet of food trucks, which Acampora wants to multiply until it reaches all the provinces of Italy. Five autistic kids per truck would find a new job and bring this extraordinary project across the country. The GourmAut pizza, in a limited edition, has excellent ingredients from the Italian tradition to symbolize the journey between the different provinces where the PizzAut food trucks will arrive. From Parma ham to Apulian burrata, from Sicilian cherry tomatoes to Taggiasca olives from Western Liguria, on a bed of rocket.

“PizzAutObus is the most inclusive food truck that exists in the Known Galaxy!” – said Nico Acampora. “Born to take PizzAut and our kids around the squares, food trucks have become the symbol of our resilience during the pandemic but, above all, what has allowed us to bring pizzas stuffed with dignity, inclusion and love to people’s homes . My dream is to expand the PizzAutObus fleet, one for each Italian province, to train and employ 500 young autistic children throughout Italy, through the involvement of non-profit organizations in the area. To nurture inclusion, everywhere.”

Let’s support the dream and wait for the PizzAutoBus!
