Example of contemporary patronage

Giuseppe Giordano, known as Pino, is an entrepreneur of Salerno origin who has lived and worked in Veneto for over 50 years, in particular in Treviso, where he founded his two restaurants with which he aimed to give a new vision of the taste for pizza and for the other southern dishes. The laurels he received over the years did not distract him from his passion and so Pino continued to open his restaurants/pizzerias throughout the region. In 1990 Giuseppe Giordano became friends with Rinalda Truffi, curator and popularizer of the work of the artist Mario Eremita.

From the relationship of mutual esteem and admiration and from the profound vocation of patronage that complements Pino’s culinary one, the idea of embellishing the premises with the works of the great artist Mario Eremita was conceived. The art virtuoso then met the cooking virtuoso and the understanding was long-lasting and solid.

In 1990 Mario Eremita placed his sculptures and paintings in the premises of Treviso, in Piazza dei Signori and in Viale della Repubblica. So in 2015 he took care of the entire hall of the venue in Piazza Candiani in Mestre, in 2017 he artistically embellished the venue in Via dei Ponti Romani in Padua, in 2020 he expanded the 1990 intervention in Viale della Repubblica in Treviso. Overall, it is an artistic embellishment intervention of cyclopean dimensions which has given a noteworthy cultural impact to the already high quality of Giuseppe Giordano’s work. The entrepreneur has demonstrated a visionary ability that goes far beyond common sensitivity and in particular revolutionizes the stereotyped vision of the restaurant/pizzeria; he brought the small provincial cities of the Veneto closer to the large international metropolises where everything is possible.
