hough they still had previous experience<br />

in the sector under their belts, Elena and<br />

Silvana were still youngsters when, in 1998 ,<br />

they decided to go into business on their own<br />

and open Elsy in Turin’s Crocetta neighborhood.<br />

Now they have two workshops: one dedicated<br />

to confectionery in Via Giovanni da Verrazzano,<br />

the other, given over to chocolate, in Corso Ca-<br />

sale, — though their full product range can be<br />

found at both. The praline assortment is mind-<br />

boggling, in more ways than one since Elena<br />

is a stickler for artistic appearance. Hence be-<br />

sides classic eggs and fun puppets, you’ll also<br />

find veritable works of art here: from decorated<br />

boxes to “choc-jewelry”, from clothes to shoes,<br />

and even “Circelsy” chocolate pictures that<br />

reproduce the works of painter and sculptor<br />

Michele Circiello. Based on years of experi-<br />

ence, the philosophy behind the confectionery<br />

is mignon, hence petite patisserie, dainty bis-<br />

cuits, puff-pastry savories and canapés, tiny<br />

mini-cakes and amandines, a line of delicious<br />

almond paste creations.<br />
