The prestigious recognition from the Gambero Rosso “Pane e Panettieri d’Italia 2025” guide has once again rewarded the talent and dedication of Claudio and Simona Manfredi, owners of “Il Forno l’Arte Bianca”. This year marks the second consecutive triumph for this artisanal excellence in the heart of the city.
Claudio Manfredi, heir to a long family tradition of bakers, together with his wife Simona, has been able to revolutionize the local panorama with their passion for high quality bread and innovative approach. The secret of their success lies not only in the choice of the best raw materials, but also in the continuous research into the most advanced bread-making techniques, studied by renowned masters such as Gabriele Bonci.
The Gambero Rosso guide praised their daily commitment to putting “serious” bread on the table, following a detailed calendar that ranges from multigrain to 100% pure rye bread, up to the variants with ancient grains and turmeric. Each creation is the result of dedication which is also expressed through natural leavening and the artisanal care of the crust, making each slice a unique sensorial experience.
Among the specialties of “Il Forno l’Arte Bianca” the crunchy baguette, pucce and pinse stuffed in a thousand ways stand out, as well as sweets such as pangocciolo and raisin and anise rolls, irresistible to the eyes and the palate.
The recognition for the second consecutive year underlines not only the extraordinary quality of the products offered, but also the constant commitment to the pursuit of artisanal perfection and culinary innovation. This success is a tribute to tradition, creativity and love for white art that Claudio and Simona Manfredi carry forward with passion and dedication.
With more than 10% of the guide’s bakeries directly growing their own grains, there is also a growing return to the short supply chain and the valorization of local production, another reason for pride for Forno l’Arte Bianca and its community.
In conclusion, the double recognition confirms that “Il Forno l’Arte Bianca” is not just a name, but a true symbol of excellence in the panorama of Italian artisan bread-making, which continues to delight and surprise its customers with every slice of bread.
