Marana Forni at the Pizza Pasta & Italian Food Show 2025
We’re gearing up for one of the biggest events on the culinary calendar – the Pizza Pasta & Italian Food Awards 2025 – and Marana Australia is right at the heart of it!
This May, we’re not only exhibiting our world-renowned ovens and pizza equipment at the Pizza Pasta & Italian Food Show 2025 – we’re also proud to be the official sponsor of the Australia’s Best Pizza Awards, where the country’s top pizzaiolos will battle it out for the title. To celebrate the show, we sat down for an exclusive conversation with Ferdinando Marana, CEO & Founder of Marana Forni and the visionary behind the world’s first rotary pizza oven.
Joined by Corrado Passilongo, Director of Marana Forni Australia, the two dive into the origins of Marana Australia, how the Australian market has evolved, and the revolutionary technology behind Marana Forni ovens that has changed the global pizza game forever.
