Description

Gianluigi Dellaccio was born in Naples, Italy in 1975. Originally a star water polo player, Gianluigi played for Naples as well as for Italy and became the Italian champion scoring the winning goal in 1993. In 1996, Gianluigi made a major career change deciding to pursue his other passion, pastry and the art of making gelato. Gianluigi packed his bags and made the move to Milan to study pastry culinary arts and gelato at the “CAPAC” (polytechnic of commerce), a top gelato and pastry school. After completing his studies Gianluigi moved to Bonn, Germany to work with Lazzarin, a famous gelato chain owned by his cousin. It was here that he was able to fully cultivate his secret recipe and skills. After his time in Germany, Gianluigi moved back to Napoli where he worked at Scaturchio, a famous pastry shop where the world-famous sfogliatella was created.
