It didn’t come directly Oprah Winfrey but one of his assistants, accompanied by an employee of Palazzo Fiuggi who acted as interpreter. She tasted the bread, she liked it and she took it. She then she came back the next day and the day after that. In short, she came back every day and it went on until Saturday, when she came around 11.00 and she directly bought five hot loaves of bread, fresh from the oven. The most beautiful thing was the face of hers that she made of her when she took them, happy as a child ”.

The managers of the bakery then discovered from social media who that customer was incognito, so greedy for bread that she sent her assistant to get it every day. “For privacy reasons, we were not told who that bread was for. We just knew she’d come in California with a private jet. It all happened later. Thursday night Oprah Winfrey posted with our loaves and we finally figured out who had been ordering them. It all started like this, in a simple way. I don’t know who told her about us – concludes Pierluigi – but it was a very nice and unexpected surprise, I’m still incredulous”.
