Andrea De Bellis
Passionate about art as the highest expression of sensitivity, Andrea embarked on his journey into its sweetest form years ago: pastry. Thanks to significant work experiences in Spain with some of the greatest masters and visionaries of the culinary arts, such as Paco Torreblanca, Ferran Adrià, and the Roca brothers, and numerous study and research trips in France and Italy, he has been able to develop his own vision of pastry, in constant evolution. Recently, he has opened a pastry shop in Rome and now collaborates regularly with Carpigiani Gelato University
