Julian C’s Custom Napolino is His Family’s Lakeside Sunshine – O Sole Mio

“On a trip to Naples, Italy to spend time with relatives and experience the culture, I was introduced to authentic Pizza Napoletana. Like many others, I am sure, I became obsessed with the idea of recreating the experience back home for my friends and family to enjoy.

After looking into what it would take to build my own oven, I learned how much care and craftsmanship goes into making these beauties, and so I decided to order a custom oven from the pros at Forno Bravo instead.

I designed the outdoor countertop at my family’s lakefront cottage with a beautiful view of the lake. The decorative tiles which have been strategically placed between the stones were brought home from Spain. The saying ‘O Sole Mio comes from a famous Neapolitan song, and translates to “My Sunshine,” which is very suiting of our oven, being the centerpiece of our family gatherings, and providing us with so much joy, as well as frustration for me, as I attempt to master the art and science of making pizza!”
