Born into the trade, the son of butchers, Gianluca Zamboni, is the only remaining butcher in the old town centre. On Via Trivellari in Modena, in the heart of the old town centre, just a short walk from the Ghirlandina, we visited “Macelleria Ghioldi“, a long- time reference point for the housewives of Modena. It is the paradise of gourmets and dedicated and convinced carnivores … fans of Florentine T-bone steaks and the Chianina breed of cattle. Was the real apprentice who learned from his teacher, without the hurry of today’s young people who want to earn everything immediately. Began working at Ghioldi in 1982 and, in 2003, like many shopkeepers and craftsmen, the owner sold the business to his trusted employee, the only co-worker who stayed close to him until then. Since took over, he has preserved its orientation unchanged, namely the rigorous selection of meat and great quality.In any case, among the excellent customers of “Macelleria Ghioldi”, the most famous was certainly Maestro Luciano Pavarotti.His passion, innovative ideas, imagination, creativity, great enthusiasm and high skills make the difference. A great shop and a great butcher, the last one left in the old town centre of Modena.
