True Neapolitan Pizza Flies to Germany: AVPN at Internorga in Hamburg

The international tour of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana is making a stop in Germany! From March 13th to 17th, we will be in Hamburg to participate in Internorga, one of Europe's leading trade fairs for the catering and hospitality market.

We look forward to seeing you at Hall B6 | Stand 300 for five days dedicated to the art of pizza making, organized in valuable collaboration with Pizza Schule. It will be an unmissable opportunity to bring the culture of true Neapolitan pizza to the heart of the German market.

Leading the activities and passing on the passion for our traditional guidelines will be a team of excellence, consisting of:

  • Luca Di Massa – AVPN Brand Ambassador, Emilia Romagna

  • Maurizio De Giacomo – True Neapolitan Pizza Maker

  • Tammaro Landolfo – Junior Marketing, AVPN

During the fair, the AVPN space will come alive with a program of masterclasses to reveal the techniques and secrets of the dough, accompanied by guided tastings to let professionals and visitors experience the authentic taste of Naples.

The highlight of the event will take place on the final day of the fair, March 17th (also at Hall B6 | Stand 300). Our stand will become the arena for the Vera Pizza Napoletana Champion - Germany competition, the contest that will crown the best interpreter of our tradition on German soil.

This event is organized in synergy with our partners: PizzaSchule, Rovagnati, Gi.Metal, Diamond and GLDM.
