Damiano Carrara, born in 1985 in Lucca, in the heart of Tuscany, decided shortly after coming of age to leave everything and move first to Ireland and then to **Los Angeles**, where he was later joined in 2011 by his brother Massimiliano, with whom he has always shared a great passion for pastry. Together they **founded a bakery**, which they run with passion, pride and dedication. Then came **media success**: he took part in programmes such as *Bake Off Italia, Bake Off Junior and Cake Star*. Since 18 September 2023 he has been part of the cast of È sempre mezzogiorno! and he took part in, and won, the eleventh season of Pechino Express with his brother Massimiliano under the name “I Pasticceri”.

Charming, self-assured, witty and down-to-earth, Damiano Carrara wins our hearts with his **signature pastry** and his **sunny, infectious personality**.

In 2021 he opened **[Atelier Damiano Carrara](https://www.atelierdamianocarrara.com/)** in Lucca, his home town. The Atelier is an exclusive, elegant space with innovative, modern creations that are **entirely gluten-free**.
