(ANSA) - Treviso, November 5 - A worker in one of
spectacle-maker Luxottica's factories won the first Tiramisù
World Cup at the weekend.
Andrea Ciccolella, 28, from Feltre, came top of 720
participants from around the world in the event, which was
staged across the northern province of Treviso.
Ciccolella got the highest marks from a jury of chefs, pastry
makers, international journalists and world-recognised Tiramisù
recipe inventor Roberto "Loli" Linguanotto.
Linguanoto gave Ciccolella the pastry-maker's hat that
symbolised his wizardry in assembling the traditional confection
of 'savoiardi' sponge fingers, eggs, mascarpone, sugar, coffee
and cacao.
