There’s a moment in every Italian city when the air is filled with an unmistakable scent. A scent that’s been calling people for generations—made of flour, yeast, and the warmth of the oven. It’s the smell of pizza, and in Naples, it feels almost like a mother tongue: speaking of family, celebration, and tradition.
For Severino, master pizzaiolo and bread artisan, this aroma has been the compass of his life since childhood. Not just a passion, but an endless journey toward perfection and the sharing of a craft that is at the very heart of Italian culture.

From Curious Kid to Dough Master

Severino started cooking at a very young age, driven by tireless curiosity and a creative yet disciplined approach to food. His path was never straight: first a brewer, then a baker, until he discovered that pizza dough held all the challenges and joys he was searching for.

Years of study, experimentation, and hands-on experience taught him every nuance of the craft: from fermentation techniques to different baking styles, from working with sourdough starter to managing temperature and humidity.
But what truly sets him apart isn’t just his technical skill—it’s his desire to share. condividere.

Sharing as a Way of Life

For Severino, pizza is more than food—it’s a way to build community. He’s an active mentor in Facebook groups like LieVita and Masterbiga Community, helping both hobbyists and professionals improve their pizza skills. He also founded Pizza Garage Repairs, an association dedicated to spreading and supporting the culture of sourdough pizza and artisan baking.

Through this association, he launched projects like Il Forno Sociale, a unique initiative that combines training, solidarity, and passion—and it’s already in its second edition.

"My goal," Severino says, "is that anyone I meet, even for just a few hours, leaves with something tangible: a technique, newfound confidence, or simply the joy of creating something alive with their own hands."

Simple Words for a Complex Art

Severino believes knowledge should be shared in clear, simple terms—accessible to anyone, regardless of experience. In his classes, you won’t find complicated jargon. Instead, you’ll find concrete examples, step-by-step demonstrations, and the freedom to learn by making mistakes.

His method is rooted in one key idea: positive exchange. Every class is a collaboration. There’s no absolute teacher or student—just two people sharing a journey, even if only for a short while.
