“We were speechless, then the dream became reality and now we can all celebrate.” – begins the Director Sergio Salerno of the ASSOCIAZIONE PASTICCERIE STORICHE BISCEGLIESI – “Finally the Sospiro di Bisceglie on a cruise ship and not just any one, but on the Tuscan coast where it officially made its way into the most exclusive event in Italy. Representing the Association and Puglia are the pastry chefs Nicola Giotti and Nicoló De Chirico in the cruise called DOLCE ITALIA.
The organizers of the event are APEI, where the best Italian pastry chefs in the world have gathered, led by Pastry Chef Iginio Massari. Meetings of the highest level, which enrich their professional background, among the most: the Executive Chef of Costa, Riccardo Bellaera and the world champions of pastry Donnarumma and Valsecchi who bring the Sospiro of Bisceglie to the highest peaks not only nationally but internationally. Last June 24, 2024, a beautiful page of history was written, which can only crown the great commitment made, with the intent of making the Sospiro and our territory known as Excellence, in the world! 6000 sospiro products, revisited and not, which have pampered passengers but also the most demanding guests. People talk about Sospiro – comment Giotti and De Chirico – as an identity that is Biscegliese, where everything originates, but above all Apulian.
An achievement that makes us feel proud of the work that is being done while waiting for our main event which is The Night of Sighs. All we do is tell, attract and share the excellence and treasures that our land has always offered – continues Salerno – but the key to success is that we must do it united with all the people who believe in what we do as this goal was achieved precisely by having expanded the team to include great men before becoming great pastry chefs. Ultimately, this is what we have been trying to do all our lives, that is, to promote and enhance and therefore be tourist attractors but above all to spread healthy values and principles. We dedicate this success to the people who follow us, our families and our beautiful region and all the projects like us who never give up and work with dedication and sacrifice. Now we are racing to prepare an unprecedented edition of the Night of Sighs. See you soon.”
