The fifth appointment with the column to get to know Gi.Metal in ten words is dedicated to the art of pizza-making. A mix of technique, commitment and craftsmanship to be supported and enhanced with the right tools.

There is a moment in the day when every pizza maker gets ready to enter his/her kingdom. In front of him/her there is only the counter, dough to be transformed and the fragrance of flour. And in his/her hands, pizza becomes art.

Each movement conveys a unique and personal style, a story of commitment and dedication. The art of pizza-making dates back far into the past: it has always relied on precise movements and tools linked to tradition. While society changes, needs evolve and tools transform, the art of pizza-making stays the same.

That is why progress should never replace the hand of the craftsman but, on the contrary, support and accompany it. Gi.Metal's peels are designed to do just that, and they use innovation to enhance tradition. They do not replace the pizza chef, but rather become a natural extension of his/her arm, a silent ally that respects and enhances his/her talent.

A perfect example is WoodTech, the peel that captures the past and the future. The appearance of its oak-effect handle recalls the look of tradition, providing the warmth and classic style of wood. At its core, however, it conceals all the efficiency, practicality and lightness of aluminium. The result is a subtle balance between aesthetics and function, between the unmistakable aesthetics of the past and the efficiency required by the present.

At the same time, at Gi.Metal, art merges with commitment. The company has embraced the latest technology in its production processes, but remains human at its core. It is people, with their expertise and passion, who shape tools that enhance the pizza chef's craft, not automation. Because art is never an accident. And commitment is the invisible thread that binds the skill of each pizza maker to the Gi.Metal tools that accompany him/her every day.
