Gennaro's oven

Forno di Gennaro is located in Matera. Gennaro, son of bakers for generations, decided to open his modern bakery here in the sixties, after the depopulation of the Sassi.

Today the baton of this family tradition, which began at the end of the nineteenth century, has been taken up by his two daughters Patrizia and Sabrina who continue the ancient white art of bread with dedication and passion.

Thanks to them the bakery has had a new and modern look, with an architectural restoration intervention a multifunctional place has been created where, in addition to producing and selling the traditional bread produced in Matera and other bakery products, it is possible to hold courses, meet customers and suppliers or taste the excellent products of the local tradition and of Basilicata.

The products of the Forno di Gennaro Panificio Perrone are those of the Materana tradition: bread, taralli, biscuits and friselle, exclusively selected raw materials from short supply chains from prized Lucanian crops are used for production.

Forno di Gennaro uses exclusively selected raw materials from a short supply chain, and for the production of traditional bread it uses re-milled durum wheat semolina which comes from Lucanian crops and is milled at a supply chain mill.
