I was missing, however, the comparison to pizza, I recently heard by Prof. Luigi Moio (reference in the wine world, in Campania region): a good wine is like pizza, it is really good when dought, tomato and mozzarella cheese blend together into one!

So, it remains strong crucial the immediacy of this product that has certainly

been the key to open all markets worldwide and I do not know how many other food products have had the same success in the world; but this is the right moment to go further: to deepen the history and the great art behind its (almost) perfect taste. So, why not, restaurants of Campania region (or at least those of Napoli) could welcome their guests with a slice of pizza -well served according to their own style- to be presented with the same attention to details they use for other creation such as cream of beans… flavored of …
