Giuseppe Maffioli
(Padova, 28th April 1925 – Treviso, 3rd June 1985)

Playwright, radio and TV writer
Writer and wine & food consultant
Movie Actor

In 2005 the Accademia Italiana della Cucina (Italian Academy of Cuisine) – Commission of Treviso – dedicates him a book (see picture) in the 20th anniversary of his death.
In 1981 Giuseppe Maffioli wrote about the origin of Tiramesu’ and about the fact that, a few years after its birth, this cake was popular in the Veneto region as well as in the whole of Italy.
A pity he is no longer here with us, today that Tiramesù (afterwards renamed Tiramisù) is the best known and most appreciated Italian sweet in the world.
It would be nice today to read one of his reviews, about a Strawberry or a Pineapple Tiramisù that you can now find around the world.

Thanks again to our Great Bepo Maffioli
