Everything has been made possible thanks to the involvement of personalities who are friends of the creators such as C.B. Cebulski, editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics and passionate about cooking, the superstar of comics Mirka Andolfo, authors such as Lorenzo De Felici and Sualzo, but also publishing houses and important realities of the food and wine world such as Star Comics, Panini, Cong, Nuages, Menabrea Beer, Strip And Spirit and Baladin, with its founder Teo Musso.

Foodmetti's products

But who thinks of Spider-Man? Chef Cristiano Tomei also paid homage to him, presenting the Spider Pizza, a classic of Italian cuisine revisited in a comics key complete with mozzarella that creates the shape of SpiderMan's web. All these products boast the presence of labels on official Marvel concession, and were made by Giuseppe Camuncoli.

Spàisi! and more

Among the food & beverage proposals, the spicy line of saldaPress will also be present at Lucca Comics and Games. This proposal sees the public offer a series of six extra virgin olive oils from the Frantoio di Massarosa flavored with chillies from the Carmazzi farm. And then again a special wine to be tasted. Among the peculiarities of this line we find the labels created by Mirka Andolfo, Giuseppe Camuncoli, Lorenzo De Felici, Daniel Warren Johnson, Ryan Ottley and Dan Panosian.

If you want to combine spicy with some spirits, here is Strip and Spirit with a line dedicated to Corto Maltese. So get ready for Rum Marinero (aged for 3 years), Rum Isla Escondida (aged for 7 years) and Vodka Oyster Raspoutine. Still on the subject of drinks, the independent Baladin brewery by Teo Musso participates in Foodmetti with its National Beer and Paprika Tonic.
