Luca Donofrioâs (@lucacappuccinodonofrio) mouthwatering photos elevate pasta to art. âThere are hundreds and hundreds of different kinds of shapes and options â you can do anything with it,â the New York native says. âI love pushing the boundaries.â Luca graduated with a B.F.A. from the School of Visual Arts, intending to be an oil painter. Despite soaking in the cityâs galleries and museums for inspiration, he found he couldnât make a living after graduation; thatâs when he ended up as a sales associate at Mario Bataliâs gourmet food emporium, Eataly. Within a few years, he was manager of pasta production, overseeing the manufacture of 5,000 pounds (2,268 kilograms) a week. âItâs become my number one passion in life. To me itâs a just a different form of artistic expression.â
