Lesson 2:

Pizza


No doubt, pizza is one of the world’s preferred meals, but above all, it is one of Italy’s favourites of all its national dishes. Indeed, approximately one million pizzas are consumed in Italy every day, and at least one of the innumerable pizzerias throughout the Bel Paese is an obligatory stop for the country’s visitors. 

Tasting this delicious foodstuff whilst admiring a gorgeous panorama - whether on Capri’s Piazzetta or in the shadow of Mt. Vesuvius in Naples, whether in the sidestreets of Rome or in one of the ancient villages of the South - is priceless. And travellers to the Peninsula are no less likely to enjoy such experiences. Even just a slice – the sensation of crispy, wood-baked dough mixed with hot tomato and gooey cheese melting away with each bite – is an ecstasy of the senses.

Pizza’s name is inextricably tied to the city of Naples, where pizza making eventually grew into an authentic artisan tradition, passed down from father to son; and it is just one of the traditions that symbolize Made in Italy all around the world. In 2017 UNESCO included "Art of Neapolitan Pizzaiuolo" in the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
