Pizza
In December 2017 the art of the Neapolitan pizza (that is related to the Italian ancient verb “pisare”, which means “to press, to crush” in Naepolitan dialect) was inscribed on the Representative list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. Pizza and the art of pizza-making are universally identified as one of the most typical Italian traditions. Yet it is not generally known that in Egyptian, Greek and Roman times a pressed bun the shape of which reminds of what pizza currently is was already prepared. Also in Medieval Times the words of “pizza” or “pizzaiuoli” (the way by which Neapolitans call the pizza-makers) were utilized in several ancient volumes.
