“Casa Strega”, a new restaurant in the Boavista area, is winning over customers with a “Panizza” whose name pays tribute to the Italian coach. The link to FC Porto and time spent in Benevento help explain the idea. “A perfect combination: an Italian coach at my club, at a time when I’m opening a restaurant,” Eduardo explains.
Francesco Farioli arrived at FC Porto, saw, and conquered. In a true rebirth, an artistic movement especially cherished by his fellow countrymen, the coach left his mark on Invicta through method, intensity, and innovation. Italy is often associated with art, but also with gastronomy, and Porto fans were won over by a coach who fully embraced his identity, without ever calling into question the path he had chosen, like someone trusting in a winning recipe capable of winning over the palate. That is precisely the inspiration behind “Casa Strega”, a new Porto pizzeria opened practically at the same time as FC Porto’s triumph. Farioli thus received a tribute full of soul and imagination from Eduardo and Alessandra, a Portuguese-Italian couple who lived in Benevento at the time when the current Dragons coach was a goalkeeping coach.
