Meloni Makes Surprise May Day Visit to PizzAut in Monza

The unannounced stop spotlights a workplace model that brings people with autism into paid, visible roles.

Overview

  • Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni visited PizzAut in Monza on May Day, lunched with staff, and called them “the most extraordinary workers.”
  • The stop was not announced in advance for security reasons, and Meloni toured the kitchen and dining room with founder Nico Acampora.
  • The visit doubled as a workday milestone, with staff signing new contracts and earning promotions, including Lorenzo Bonacina and Matteo “Matteone” Celeghin.
  • Acampora asked for greater attention to jobs and autism, and he said the premier appeared open to the request.
  • Meloni donned the foundation’s red apron during a brief investiture as staff explained baskin, and one worker, Letizia, stayed close to her throughout, underscoring PizzAut’s hands-on approach to inclusion.
