Portrait of Francesco De Maria
i. Biography
The Climb
Pizza practice at Massimo Bosco, Renato Bosco, and Ezio Marinato gave Francesco De Maria three distinct lines of training to draw from, each feeding into the way he handles dough, toppings, and format. In I Vesuviani, that background shows up in a menu built around Neapolitan and Roman styles, with work moving across pan, tray, Neapolitan, and tasting-style pizza.
