Daniele Baressi turns potato and pumpkin into art
So Daniele, what do you want to be when you grow up? Fruit-carving artist, teacher. Well, he managed that. Daniele Barresi has become world champion in the art of carving twice. He turns an ordinary watermelon, avocado or sweet potato into a true work of art. Knives ready? Start carving.
With teeny-tiny knives and the patience of an angel, Daniele carves flowers, birds and curls into vegetables and fruit. He does it so well that he has become world champion twice, Italian champion once and European champion in 2015. Well, basically, it just means that Daniele is very good at carving fruit.

Through a website, Daniele sells special knives and picks, so you can get started on your own fruit bowl too. He certainly doesn’t stand still: these days, he also carves cheese and bars of soap.
