Laura B Naturalmente was born from passion, courageous choices, and the desire to build a business while staying close to her roots. After graduating from hospitality school, Laura worked in the restaurant world. When she became a mother, she didn’t want to give up being present and active in her children’s lives, nor abandon her dream. She chose to create her home-based workshop in her living space in Adria, in the heart of the Veneto Po Delta. This choice is more than convenience: it’s her identity. Her work is local and sustainable, focused on zero-kilometre ingredients and small local producers who supply her raw materials. Laura’s mission is simple yet ambitious: to bring truth, authentic flavours, and genuine memories to the table through products that speak of the Po Delta, artisanal know-how, and respect for ingredients, echoing the traditional methods she learned in her grandmother’s kitchen.

Laura B Naturalmente è una realtà che nasce da una passione, da scelte coraggiose, dal desiderio di fare impresa restando vicina alle proprie radici. Dopo il diploma presso la scuola alberghiera, ha lavorato nel mondo della ristorazione; diventando mamma, non ha voluto rinunciare a crescere in maniera attiva e presente i suoi figli né al suo sogno. Così ha scelto di creare il suo laboratorio domestico nel proprio spazio abitativo, ad Adria, nel cuore del Delta del Po Veneto. Questa decisione non è solo una comodità: è un’identità. Il suo è un lavoro sostenibile e di prossimità con l’obiettivo di spingere il km zero e le produzioni locali che le forniscono le materie prime. La missione di Laura è semplice ma ambiziosa: portare in tavola verità, sapori autentici e ricordi genuini, con prodotti che parlano della terra del Delta del Po, del saper fare artigiano, del rispetto per le materie prime, ricordando le lavorazioni di una volta, le stesse che vedeva nella cucina della nonna.

Confartigianato is the main Italian confederation representing small and micro craft enterprises. It operates through a nationwide network of regional and provincial associations that provide representation, services, training and advocacy for artisans and small businesses. Confartigianato Rovigo accompanied the CLL by positioning the artisanal preserve workshop within the wider heritage of Polesine’s food traditions and small-scale production landscape. This mediation supported the lab’s aim to reinterpret food-making as cultural heritage and to explore its potential translation into immersive visits and creative gastronomy-based experiences. Confartigianato further provided practical support in relations with municipal and cultural institutions, facilitating local visibility and participation in the lab’s activities.

Nika Disney is a choreographer and dancer from Pula, Croatia, who graduated from the Academy of Theatre and Dance in Amsterdam as a performer, choreographer, and educator. Her recent works have been presented at the 42nd Dance Week Festival, the 18th Monoplay Festival, with Studio Contemporary Dance company, and at the Zagreb Dance Center, exploring questions such as "Are we ever truly alone?" and "How will technology shape our hearts?" Together with musician Carlos Andres Fagin, she organizes monthly performative improvisational jams (Jukebox), open for the public to watch and participate in. Nika is especially interested in developing programs that foster dialogue between art and community, spaces where art is lived, shared, and transformed into a collective experience. An example is the project Being A-Part, created with Liberta Mišan and Flynn Disney alongside students from the Pula Gymnasium. Her creative process is grounded in trust, vulnerability, recognition, and openness.
