Gianluca Fusto’s first creations were based on pipe tobacco and Havana cigars – an astounding manifestation of his ingenuity. Fusto spent a few years working in Milan and Paris before finally joining the kitchen of the Aimo e Nadia in Milan at the age of 25. In 1998, he was taken under the wing of Fredéric Bau and since then, Fusto has travelled to various corners of the world to conduct tastings, courses and classes to spread the wonders of pastry-making.
