Buenos aires: Pizza is back in the spotlight in Buenos Aires with the fifth edition of the Pizzaioli School Championship, held this weekend as part of the International Tourism Fair (Fit).

According to Ansa News Agency, the event was inaugurated yesterday by Italian Ambassador Fabrizio Lucentini, who, together with Consul General Carmelo Barbera, emphasized the importance of the event as a vehicle for spreading Italian cuisine. The Championship serves as a preview of the Week of Italian Cuisine in the World in November, highlighting the heritage of health, sustainability, and innovation that characterizes Italian gastronomy.

The Championship brought together competitors from Argentina and other South American countries, with competitions also dedicated to young people, workshops, master classes, and tastings.
