Rocco Princi is a gifted baker with a supreme sense of style. His vision was to sell refined pastries and rugged breads in the same lo- cation, and to design that location to be elegant and beautiful but inviting. He now has shops in Milan, London, andShanghai. It’s a sign of his ambition that he recently partnered with Starbucks to bring his pastries and breads to an even wider audience.
