Codalunga and PezZ de Pane collaborate on limited edition t-shirts
Renowned Italian baker Roberta Pezzella, also known as PezZ, has an impressive background in bread-making, having previously directed Gabriele Bonci's bakery and collaborated with chef Heinz Beck. In early 2021, she established PezZ de Pane in Frosinone, which marked its second anniversary on February 22, 2023. Nico Vascellari, born in 1976, initiated the Codalunga project in 2005, transforming it into a venue for diverse artistic events and merchandising. Their partnership commenced with graphic designs by Luca Barcellona. To commemorate the bakery's anniversary, Pezzella designed a limited edition t-shirt priced at €40, with proceeds benefiting the ABA association for eating disorders. Pezzella, a former bulimia survivor, attributes her recovery to bread.
