ABOUT US
Tutto è successo per caso. Protagonisti: Gianfranco Vissani, cuoco internazionale conosciuto in tutto il mondo (alla Rai e a Mediaset, da tanti anni, è di casa ) e “Foku”, un barbecue in pietra lavica made in Bronte, ai piedi dell’Etna, che nel giro di un anno sta ottenendo successi strepitosi.
Further informationThis year, Dell'Erba's products will be on display at Sciarm, during the big November event: the opportunity to see up close the barbecue made from Etna stone.
Further information
In Bronte, at the foot of Etna, about fifty kilometers from Catania, the way of making barbecues is being revolutionized

In questa puntata andiamo alla scoperta di Foku, realtà siciliana che trasforma la pietra lavica dell’Etna in bracieri dove design, tradizione e convivialità si incontrano. 🌋🔥 Ospite in studio Nicola Dell’Erba, ideatore di Foku, con cui parleremo della nascita del progetto, della lavorazione della pietra lavica e di una nuova idea di vivere la cucina all’aperto.
Further information
Unlike many anonymous barbecues, Foku captures the eye with its striking presence. The lava stone top immediately evokes the power of Mount Etna, while the Corten steel frame adds an industrial touch that blends perfectly with the outdoor setting. A surprising detail? The Corten steel, left to oxidize naturally, changes appearance over time, giving you a fire pit that becomes more and more unique year after year.
Further information
This is a new concept of barbecue. No longer a square or rectangular object (which, due to space constraints, has always forced a couple of "volunteers" to roast the food while the rest of the group "watched"), but a rounded tool (Nicola speaks of an "archaic shape inspired by ancient Greece") that allows everyone to cook their favorite food directly on stone or steel, over an "indirect" or "direct" flame, sitting in front of the fire, enjoying every moment of conviviality and conversing amicably with the rest of the group.

Every activity can be a hymn to peace and have a global impact." These are the words of Stephanie A. Urchick, Rotary International President 2024/2025, and it is this principle that inspired the Mediterranean Peace Stele made of lava stone by the master Nicola Dell'Erba, which will be unveiled on Sunday 10 November 2024.
