If we talk about pizza, what links Naples with New York? We can hear it from LSDM – the international congress of signed cuisine that for its 2018 edition in the United States chose an essential theme – the White Art. Undisputed protagonist of the event: the use of ingredients, and in particular of tomatoes.
Overseas countries were seen until not so long ago with a bit of suspicion by lovers of the true Neapolitan pizza.
Futuristic fusions, consistencies questionable or too different from the Neapolitan matrix, too big sizes, have made the American White Art a philosophy on its own different from the vesuvian tradition.
But the landscape today is quite different.

The scenario awaiting us in New York

The landscape is now different both for the UNESCO recognition of the art of the Neapolitan pizza makers as an humanity intangible heritage – which gives to the Neapolitan version of pizza a value with no geographical boundaries – and for the widespread dissemination of news and for the ability that modern technologies gives in bringing the Campanian know-how everywhere in the world.
The stars and stripes country recognizes and loves the Neapolitan pizza.
Telling, explaining and illustrating the culture of the ingredients behind this culture will be one of the tasks of LSDM New York 2018 and of Ciao, the great star of the event.

The kermesse.

The Pizza Time dedicated to spread the Neapolitan style in the White Art of LSDM will take place at Roberto Caporuscio’s Pizzeria Kesté.
LSDM started this year too from Paestum for its travel around the world talking about gastronomy, ingredients and Mediterranean diet.
Dough lessons
Analysis of the new trends in the pizza phenomenon (such as the great attention to fried pizza, raft version)
Dialogue between pizza makers of different nationalities through the experiences of Enzo Coccia, Carlo Sammarco, Giorgia Caporuscio, Tony Gemignani and Anthoni Mangieri.
And a focus on ingredients and in particular on seasonings: the big difference between the American and Neapolitan schools.

The tomato

All the seminars, debates and recipes will have a single protagonist that is appreciated all over the world: Ciao tomato, especially in the San Marzano DOP version.
Ciao exports its products to more than 90 countries and is also appreciated as a flagship product in the United States.
