In the last 20 years, the United States have witnessed a true explosion of interest toward everything Italian. Pizza in “teglia” is the latest trend in the pizza world to reach the American Market. It represents an aesthetically appealing, high-quality alternative to traditional pizza, and it easy to serve.
The main goal of AMPTO is to work along with the Roman Pizza Academy to empower students with all the necessary resources to open and run a Roman style pizzeria. Roman Pizza Academy classes teach the students not only how to make and bake the dough, but also what tools and equipment to buy and how to run a Roman style pizzeria. The pizza in teglia trend is developing very fast and spreading to major American cities like Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago.
Massimiliano Saieva, lead instructor, was one of the first pioneers of this style in the United States. Over the years he has continued to work on his technique; he is proud to present an absolutely exceptional product both in his restaurant, Pizzarium and at the Roman Pizza Academy.
He has perfected the cold maturation technique, stretching the fermentation and maturation process to 96 hours. This allows him to obtain an extremely soft yet crunchy texture, light and easy to digest.

La Italy – America Chamber of Commerce Southeast (IACCSE) lancia un nuovo servizio per le imprese italiane che vogliono approdare in Florida. Dal 1° luglio 2018, sara’ disponibile un incubatore di impresa che permetterà alle aziende italiane di appoggiarsi alla Camera di Commercio per iniziare un percorso di internazionalizzazione negli Stati Uniti, con focus sulla Florida.
Quarta economia negli USA con un Pil di oltre 900 miliardi di dollari (dati 2016), e terzo stato più popoloso degli Stati Uniti con oltre 20 milioni di residenti (e 112 milioni di visitatori l’anno), la Florida è tra le 20 più grandi economie a livello globale ed oggi più che mai costituisce un richiamo per aziende provenienti da tutto il mondo, facendo di Miami un hub strategico fondamentale, punto di accesso principale per il mercato del Nord e Sud America.
Basti pensare che la Florida copre circa il 23,8% del totale del commercio degli Stati Uniti con l’America Latina, il 20,5% del totale degli scambi statunitensi con il Sud America, il 29,6% con l’America centrale ed il 35,6% con i Caraibi.
L’apertura di una filiale commerciale a Miami sta diventando quindi condizione sempre più essenziale ed imprescindibile per molte aziende, per presidiare in modo efficace mercati in grande espansione.
Per avere contezza dell’importanza dei rapporti commerciali tra Italia e Stati Uniti, basti pensare che solo nel quinquennio 2011 – 2016, le esportazioni italiane verso il Sunshine State sono duplicate (dati Enterprise Florida), passando da 1.070 milioni di $ a 2.200 milioni di $ e oggi l’Italia rappresenta il 13° partner commerciale della Florida.
Attraverso il nuovo servizio dell’incubatore di impresa, la IACCSE intende quindi facilitare l’inserimento delle aziende italiane nel mercato della Florida, limitandone gli ostacoli iniziali di carattere amministrativo e burocratico legati all’apertura di una filiale commerciale.
Il valore aggiunto del servizio della Camera consiste proprio nel fornire all’azienda italiana, un pacchetto di servizi che, oltre ad evitare all’impresa di incorrere nelle iniziali difficoltà burocratiche, consisterà in un’ assistenza a 360°, prevedendo sessioni di tutoring, incontri one to one con professionisti selezionati, guide informative, introduzione agli enti ed organizzazioni locali, facilitazione di contatti con imprese del territorio, e tutto questo mettendo a disposizione spazi già ammobiliati, nella forma sia di uffici privati che di postazioni condivise.
Ciò permetterà all’azienda di essere operativa fin dal primo momento, utilizzando la Camera anche come domiciliazione fiscale.
Sei gli spazi disponibili, già ammobiliati e dotati di wi-fi, con fotocopiatrice multifunzione e un’ ampia sala conferenze, in una location ubicata all’interno di un prestigioso grattacielo, sulla Brickell Avenue, nel cuore economico e finanziario di Miami.
Le tariffe sono:
Opzione Ufficio Ammobiliato per n. 1 persona: $ 700.00 (mensili)
Opzione postazione in open space: $ 350.00 (mensili)
L’impegno minimo richiesto per l’adesione all’incubatore e’ di 6 mesi.
Per ulteriori informazioni e’ possibile scrivere a info@iaccse.com o contattare il numero: +1.305.577.9868.

Recognized experts discussed about “Consumption trends of Authentic Italian Food in Florida” during the educational panel, and F&B Industry guests enjoyed the Networking Cocktail sponsored by Italwine and Black Truffle Festival.
During the Grand Tasting, guests and food lovers had the opportunity to taste some of the best dishes of the Italian cuisine, as well as a selection of wine, beers and cocktails prepared by different participating restaurants and importers.
The event was sponsored by A Custom Brokerage, Baldassare Agnelli Usa, Black Truffle Festival, Botteghe d’Italia, Flora Fine Foods, Strahl and Tomson Hospitatily Boutique, and it counted on the partnership of Consulate General of Italy.
Several journalists and social media influencers attended the AIT and posted about it. We would like to thank our social media partner, Americanoize, for helping the Chamber promoting the event and for reaching out to bloggers and influencers.
Last, but not least, a big thank you to all our food and beverage partners for the precious collaboration. The delicious products exposed during the event and the warm hospitality showed to our guests resulted in a very special night that can be regarded as the most attended event organized by the IACCSE in its history.
Grand Opening of the New IACC Office – May 17, 2018
Members, friends and local authorities got together on May 17th to celebrate the Grand Opening of the New IACC headquarters, located at 999 Brickell Ave.
The Consul General of Italy Hon. Gloria Bellelli, and the President of the IACC Southeast Tommaso Cardana cut the ribbon and unveiled the plaque made in honor of the companies that donated services and materials for our new home:
Alea for the office furniture;
Adotta for the tempered and laminated glass partitions;
Italkraft for the kitchenette;
Itlas for the wood floor of the meeting room;
Engineered Automation for installing our network of communications;
Santa Rosa Marble for the Italian tiles from the Travertini collection of Ceramiche Coop. d’Imola;
and, finally, Dodo Arslan Studio for the coordination of the remodeling works and the interior design.
These donations have a particular meaning for us, since they are the reflection of how much the Chamber and its role are appreciated by the business community.
It has been truly a collective effort of many people, each one contributing with his skills for a common objective. So, it was a celebration not only of a new phase in the life of the Chamber, but also of the efforts of the people that every day keep this organization alive and dynamic.
Legal advice for the lease contract and for the Italian Lab Project has been provided by Roca Gonzalez, P.A and Robert Allen Law.
The numerous guests enjoyed a selection of Italian bites prepared by Chef Andrea Marchesin by Toscana Divino.
