Organizers in Sant’Antonio Abate say they will try on June 29 and 30, 2026 to make and give away more than 10,000 pizzas for charity. (laprovinciaonline.info) The attempt is planned for Piazza della Libertà, the town square in Sant’Antonio Abate, a municipality in the Naples metropolitan area in Campania. The event has municipal backing, according to local reports that say the town is sponsoring the initiative. (laprovinciaonline.info; wikipedia.org) Local coverage says more than 50 pizzaioli linked to the GPN association, including some from outside Italy, are expected to take part. One participant named in advance is Ciro Sasso, owner and pizzaiolo of Fiamma Fredda in Saviano. (laprovinciaonline.info) The pizzas are meant both for people attending in Sant’Antonio Abate and for charitable distribution through volunteer groups, according to the March 25 report. The stated target is to exceed 10,000 pizzas, not simply reach that number. (laprovinciaonline.info) The record angle matters because Guinness World Records treats these attempts as formal applications that require evidence and measurement rules before a title can be recognized. Guinness also markets record attempts as live business and public events, not just one-off stunts. (guinnessworldrecords.com; guinnessworldrecords.com) The sponsor named for the event, Latticini Orchidea, is a long-running Campania dairy company that says it has made fior di latte for pizza since the early 1900s and supplies pizzerias in more than 30 countries. The company describes its business as closely tied to professional pizzaioli. (latticiniorchidea.it) The announcement has spread through local Campania outlets in recent weeks, with reports on March 25, March 30, and April 10 pointing to the same late-June timetable. That suggests organizers have moved from a social media launch to a broader local recruiting and publicity push. (laprovinciaonline.info; officina0823.it; langrese.it) If the plan holds, Sant’Antonio Abate will spend two days at the end of June turning a town-square pizza bake into a charity distribution drive with a world-record claim attached. The next test is whether organizers can document every pie well enough for Guinness to certify it. (laprovinciaonline.info; guinnessworldrecords.com)
