In the quiet town of Foggia, surrounded by the golden light of the sunset and lulled by the enveloping scent of freshly baked bread, the Salandra bakery stands out proudly. Founded generations before by passionate artisans, the bakery is much more than just a place of production; it is a pillar of the community, a refuge for those seeking comfort in the warmth of friendship and the taste of tradition.
Its red brick walls hold secrets handed down from father to son, from grandfather to granddaughter, weaving a story that is intertwined with that of the city of Foggia itself.
Every morning, the silent streets come alive with the constant pace of the steps of the customers who crowd the small shop, looking for the bread that brings with it the flavor of generations of dedication and craftsmanship.
At the heart of this story of bread and passion, there are Alfredo and Giuseppe Salandra, brothers united by the sharing of a common dream: to carry on the family legacy with respect, humility and innovation. Raised among the roar of the stove and the reassuring song of leavening, they have learned from a young age that bread is not just a food, but an art form that requires dedication, knowledge and a heart full of love for tradition. This book is the prologue to a fascinating story, a journey through the challenges and triumphs of a family business, and an invitation to discover not only the secret of family recipes, but also the value of perseverance, trust and joy that lurks behind every stine of fresh bread.
A story that shows how, at the heart of the simple art of breadmaking, you can find the richness of a life lived with passion and dedication.
