Paolo De Simone, owner and soul of Modus Pizzeria e Gastronomia in Milan, was one of the key figures at Futura 2025, an event held from March 10 to 12 that explored the future of Italian gastronomy. His participation was a valuable opportunity to share his vision of how tradition and innovation can coexist in a constantly evolving industry.
Last November, Paolo De Simone was named Ambassador of the Mediterranean Diet worldwide, a prestigious recognition that honors his dedication to preserving and promoting the culinary traditions of Cilento. Through his experience and gastronomic philosophy, De Simone continues to champion a message that celebrates authenticity and sustainability—two key pillars of the Mediterranean Diet.
The 2025 edition of Futura focused on the theme “Technology and Artificial Intelligence: Between Fascination and Reality,” examining how innovation is reshaping the gastronomic sector. Over the three-day event, political institutions and industry experts delved into the impact of new technologies on food production and dining experiences.
One of the most anticipated moments was the session on “The Rise of Master Bakers,” an event supported by Ambassador of Taste Ilaria Puddu, held at Giolina Milano. Paolo De Simone, alongside Corrado Scaglione and Salvatore Salvo, showcased the art of leavening, presenting exclusive creations that highlighted high-quality ingredients and respect for tradition.
Paolo De Simone’s presence at Futura 2025 reaffirmed his status as a leading figure in the enogastronomic world, demonstrating that the future of dining lies in the balance between innovation and authenticity.
