The Supino pastry shop closes, the first to enter the Michelin guide (who also said no to Berlusconi)

A piece of history that goes away. In Milan, on Christmas day, the Supino pastry shop closed, the first under the Madonnina to enter the historic Michelin guide, a sort of food Bible. And Supino for Milan was instead a sort of Bible of sweets, with its doors that have remained open for over 51 years, with a wife and husband behind the balcony serving all customers.

All or almost all, indeed. Because legend has it that the sweets of the pastry shop in via Cesare da Sesto were actually reserved only for regulars and no one else. Behind that minimal sign and those never too full windows, the legendary cream cannons – never bigger than a little finger – were almost conquered.

And so it seems that Piersilvio Berlusconi, CEO of Mediaset and son of the former prime minister, also had to surrender in the face of a no after having ordered a massive quantity of cannons. Like him, many Milanese have never been able to taste Supino’s little masterpiece. And now they won’t be able to do it anymore.
