Riccardo Depetris

Depetris riccardo pastry chef and chocolatier that combines tradition and innovation!

I’m carrying on the family tradition: my parents have practiced this profession for 40 years. When I was a student I used to alternate school and work. My first experiences took place “at home” then, in other laboratories and workshops who contributed to improve my technique.

After the achievement of diploma at "hotel management school virginio donadio" in dronero (CN, italy), I moved to brescia (lombardy) for one year. Here I studied and worked by “CASTALIMENTI”. It’s a private school of high professional refinement. I had the opportunity to keep in touch with the “elite” of italian and international pastry.

It was the beginning of my personal growth ,carachterized by the attendance to many courses, to increase my abilities.

As my father, there is another person that was essential for me: He was the departed “maestro” Sergio Canepa, skilled pastry chef and chocolatier who believed in me and led me to constantly improve.

My desire of learning led me to go beyond, travelling in italy and abroad (France, Spain, Germany, United States of America). I could get closer to different tastes and cultures, even if my job is indissolubly anchored into the italian and piemontese tradition.

I entered a lot of competitions, I won awards in team and individually but I always have dreams to fulfill.
