Hello everybody, my name is Luigi Lupi .I have been a barman and
sommelier for over 30 years.I was born in 1953 in Piacenza, a nice town
in the north of Italy where I still live.
I would like to dedicate these few lines to all my collegues and to all
those people who would like to discover and be part of this marvellous
profession. Anyway as in every job it is not so easy to become "top"
without being enough professionally trained and having had much work
experience during the years, to finally "take the cake".
Years ago to learn the job and become a professionist it was sufficient
to work hard alongside a good barman and smartly catch all the
secrets.Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to do the same .Nowadays
everythig runs fast and faster and to be competitive you need to learn
quicker and always better.
For this reason in Italy there are two great associations which often
organize professional training courses at different levels for Barmen
and Sommeliers who have different specializations.
I am proud to
be part of:
- Italian barmen association & sponsors (AIBES)
- Italian sommeliers association (AIS)
They organize, with a certain frequency in italy hence train professionals for Barmen and Sommeliers of different levels and specializations.
People however had never thought about creating a course exclusively planned on the preparation of cappuccinos; However,
15 years ago I had the fortune to meet Peter Merlo, “big caffettaro” with his help we had succeeded in learning all the necessary techniques for to prepare good cappuccinos and decorated with only movement of milk jug.
I have made therefore visible all these techniques creating, in collaboration with some local firms, a real tape . In this VHS or CD-ROM, (for PC), you can see the choices of the materials, the whipping of the different types of milk and the executions of DECORATED CAPPUCCINOS (latte art), with sequences, close sight and slow images. A voice explains all the passages and a sweet music makes the vision of it very pleasant.
This site has been, built with the purpose to divulge the course Decorated cappuccinos but also to furnish useful information and to give a minimum of market formation to whom operates or to whom will want to operate in the sector Coffee, through " GAMES " that will periodically be adjourned. Thanks for the attention
and...
