The year is just a guess on my part, but there is no question just how beautiful this one is.
NATIONAL PIZZA DAY
Though flatbreads with toppings were consumed by ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Greeks, the modern birthplace of the pizza is southwestern Italy’s Campania region, home to Naples. Founded around 600 BC as a Greek settlement, Naples was a thriving waterfront city in the 1700s and early 1800s. Technically an independent kingdom, it was notorious for its throngs of working poor or lazzaroni. These Neapolitans required inexpensive food that could be consumed quickly. Pizza — flatbreads with toppings that can be eaten for every meal — fulfilled this need. These early pizzas featured tasty toppings such as tomatoes, cheese, oil, anchovies, and garlic. More well-off Italian authors judged Naples’ innovation, often calling their eating habits disgusting.
So remember, pizza is not just for breakfast anymore!
