Please find here the titles of the most important newspapers which have written about the topic:

• La Repubblica (Italia): “L’arte del pizzaiuolo napoletano diventa patrimonio dell’Unesco”
• Il Corriere della Sera (Italia): “Napoli, l’arte della pizza è patrimonio culturale dell’Unesco” oppure “Cosa vuol dire che la pizza è diventata patrimonio dell’Umanità per l’Unesco?“
• The Guardian (UK): “Naples’ pizza twirling wins Unesco ‘intangible’ status”
• The New York Times (USA): “See Naples and Pie: Pizza Making Wins World Heritage Status”
• Le Monde (Francia): “L’« art » du pizzaïolo napolitain entre au Patrimoine immatériel de l’humanité”
