“My name is Bernardo and I’m 26 years old. I come from Mondragone, a small village in the province of Caserta. My father is from Mondragone and my mom is Neapolitan.
I started with the pizza when I was only 13 years old. It was summer and I was at the beach with my mother. Suddenly my friend Simone came looking for me to ask me if I wanted to work delivering pizzas to the homes. I started the same evening. I got home, I dressed myself and took my scooter! When I finished to work in the evening I was hungry and then I started to make my pizza. I began to be familiar with panielli and to make pizza for all the staff at the end of the evening. Today I serve “millions” of people.
Two years ago I decided to move to London looking for a little luck. I chose London as the destination because it is positive, because I wanted to follow my instincts.
A one-way ticket and few money in my pocket. Arrived, I immediately began searching for Neapolitan pizzerias. Many were the difficulties at the beginning.
The first pizzeria where I went to look for work was that of the “Quei bravi Ragazzi“. I remember that the owner asked me to get them two pizzas, a “margherita” and a “marinara”.
I quickly washed my hands and began to make two pizzas, one was for me. They did not need a pizza maker, anyway I left my contacts .
The next day I went to another pizzeria: “Santa Maria.” It was my lucky day. They took me straight away. From there My adventure bega. I worked there seven motnhs and then decided to leave to do other experiences. This time I chose a very famous company here in London,  “Franco Manca.” My goal was to learn how to manage a club with a high number of staff and increasing more and more my baggage of experience! I was with them 11 months and have grown a lot. I had gained the trust of everyone. They even gave me the keys in hand and so many other responsibilities.
After my experience at “Franco Manca”, I returned at ” Quei Bravi Ragazzi”. They were looking for a new pizza maker. I wanted to follow my instinct again, and I took the opportunity to work here.
I am very well. The restaurant has a Neapolitan-style pizza that perfectly reflects my culture.
I hope one day to return to Italy, in Mondragone and run my own pizzeria together with my friend Simone. It’s my biggest dream. “

Una vita ad immaginare e costruire un futuro che non è mai stato così chiaro e limpido. Fatto di emozioni inesauribili alla vista dei colori che questo mio Paese sa ogni giorno regalarmi. Ho viaggiato, senza mai stancarmi, per poi fermarmi dinanzi al blu del mio Mediterraneo. Lì capire che qualcosa di grande e profondo, intenso e meraviglioso, stava accadendomi; e che non mi sarei mai più fermato. Tuffandomi in quel mare sapevo che non avrei più potuto tornare indietro. Al contempo sapevo che i brividi che mi percorrevano sarebbero stati i vostri. E che insieme avremmo corso sempre più veloce verso qualcosa di puro, autentico, genuino, felice. Qualcosa che con orgoglio chiamo Idressitalian.
