Hello to everyone, I am Franco Bazzara and here with my brother Mauro Bazzara we are here to present for the first time to the world our later book "Cappuccino Italiano Latte Art"
We are from Trieste, the world capital of espresso coffee. Where the first Italian coffee district was created. Trieste has a long lasting tradition with coffee, as I'm sure you all know. 
We are Roasters from Trieste, and coffee has something magical in the passion it drives and brought us to write books. 
Behind us you see this new book of ours, a book which is unique in it's kind as we will tell you later why.
This book was created thanks to an Italian legend in the world of cappuccino, Andrea Lattuada. 
He deserves a very warm applause because he is dedicating his life to teaching young people of today, including my son for example, driving them on the path to becoming coffee artists.
Andrea is the mastermind behind the Latte Art in our book. We must also thank the enormous number of sponsors that backed the project. 
Confirming the respect the coffee world has for us the greatest companies in the italian coffee world offered their help.
Petroncini, roasting equipment makers, Nuova Simonelli, CMA and Sanremo as coffee machine makers, Cogeco, Aziende Riunite Caffè, Imperator and Sandalj Corporation as green coffee traders, Pacorini in logistics, decaffeinated experts Demus, Club House and Ancap porcelain cups.
And here we should give another round of applause for another expert and friend, Gianfranco Carubelli from Asachimici. He has always been there to help and give a hand to whoever tries to make their way in the coffee world.
Great company, great company owner.
We must thank 9bar (or ACI), look at what kind of a stand they prepared.
Great trainers, Andrea Antonelli current Italian champion, great speaker, he also helped us in making this book.
Andrea Antonelli you can see him there, he shows enormous talent and determination, he is even capable of preparing Latte Art blindfolded!
Brita International for its water purification systems, and also from Germany Concept Art for the tools for the Horeca sector.
Coffee Colour as the experts magazine. We finish off with Ferri dal 1905 for their teas, Cappuccino can also be made with tea!
Our last thanks, when speaking about cappuccino we must not forget a slightly important component, the Milk, we thank Centrale del Latte di Brescia, our only sponsor and milk supplier for this book!
Why a book all about the Italian Cappuccino? Well first of all because a book of this magnitude with so many photographs and images did not exist yet.
And then because the Italian Cappuccino is something that all over the world people envy. A part of Italian Lifestyle, true Made in Italy.
Before passing the torch on to my brother Mauro I want to point out one thing. Who contributes really to the creation of books like this one?
You, you young people that prepare and compete for World Championships with sacrifices and determination.
Tomorrow you will maybe thanks also to our book, create and prepare spectacular and fabulous coffees in your cities and all around the world.
Give yourselves all a round of applause.
