Then, on the 31st of July, Alfio Ghezzi di Senso Mart, an illustrious restaurant in Trentino where the taste experience meets the philosophy of its creator: "Beauty and art, like goodness, are essentially the ability to leave a trace of self in people, the ability to excite!". The 18th of August will be the turn of Marco Cahssai, star of the Atman restaurant where he interprets Italian with simplicity and taste. The last night, Domenico Candela of George Restaurant of Naples, a Michelin star: "I bring my choices on the table, the products of preferred territories, the love for sauces, the authenticity of the tomato that is combined with the exhilarating scent of basil. I bring to the table my daily journey in the world of gastronomic art’’.

Grand Hotel Alassio is also preparing to pay homage to the great Pizza Masters with a series of evenings dedicated to the most beloved Italian specialty in the world. From the 23rd to the 25th of July Chef Stefano Miozzo, world champion of gourmet pizza, will delight guests with his combinations of ingredients and his imagination, which allowed him to enter the Olympus of the master pizza makers.

From the 10th to 13th of August it will be the turn of Federico De Silvestri, world champion of gluten-free pizza, which promises to satisfy even the most demanding palates.
