This year once again, Artisia proudly served as Food Partner of Forbes Italia for Most Powerful Chef 2026, the prestigious event celebrating the chefs who are shaping the present and future of Italian gastronomy. An exclusive gathering that brings together the leading figures of fine dining, recognizing not only culinary excellence but also the ability to create cultural, social, and entrepreneurial impact through food. Held at the prestigious Bellavista Winery in Erbusco, the event welcomed Italy's 25 Most Powerful Chefs, alongside entrepreneurs, journalists, and key players from the food and hospitality industries. This year's ranking saw Antonino Cannavacciuolo take first place, followed by the Cerea Family and Niko Romito, while Massimo Bottura received the special "Il Maestro" award in recognition of his extraordinary contribution to Italian gastronomy. Representing Artisia on stage was Antonio Gagliardi, Head of Design & Technology, who had the honor of presenting several awards to the evening's celebrated chefs, taking part in one of the most meaningful moments of the ceremony. For Artisia, returning as a partner to such a prestigious event reinforces a journey built alongside Italy's most important celebrations of excellence, contributing creativity and innovation to unique and memorable experiences.
An exclusive creation by Artisia
For the 2026 edition, Artisia designed and produced an exclusive 3D-printed Forbes "F", created specifically for the event. The iconic shape was transformed into a culinary creation by Chef Alberto Quadrio, who paired it with Gorgonzola cheese and caviar for L'Albereta Relais & Châteaux, creating a unique dialogue between design, technology, and haute cuisine. This project perfectly showcases one of Artisia's defining strengths: the ability to develop fully customized solutions where innovation, research, and meticulous attention to detail become an integral part of both the gastronomic experience and the event's identity.
Alongside the leading names of Italian excellence
Standing alongside Forbes Italia at Most Powerful Chef represents far more than a partnership. It means sharing the stage with the professionals who are redefining the future of Italian cuisine while reinforcing Artisia's role as a creative partner for prestigious international events. Over the years, Artisia has established an increasingly strong position within the worlds of fine dining and hospitality, collaborating with renowned chefs, leading companies, and premium brands to develop exclusive projects that combine design, innovation, and personalization. Participating in prestigious events such as Most Powerful Chef highlights the company's ability to meet the expectations of high-profile occasions, transforming every creation into a powerful storytelling and branding element. Being present where the world's finest chefs, Italian excellence, and innovation come together reflects Artisia's vision: creating memorable experiences through tailor-made solutions, bringing 3D printing, creativity, and craftsmanship to the service of haute cuisine.
