When in Naples…

[unbfacts]

The first recorded pizza delivery dates back to 1889 when Queen Margherita of Savoy, tired of French cuisine, requested a local dish while visiting Naples. Renowned pizza maker Raffaele Esposito prepared three pizzas for the Queen, including one topped with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil—symbolizing the red, white, and green of Italy’s flag. This pizza became famously known as the Margherita pizza in her honor.

Just back from a trip to Napoli & Roma where I ate nothing but pasta and pizza for five days 🇮🇹🍕🍝

L'homme à droite est Raffaele Esposito

Il a révolutionné un plat de pauvre en un plat célèbre dans le monde entier il est l'inventeur de la pizza Magherita. Autrefois la pizza était un plat populaire dans les quartiers pauvres de la ville de Naples, on trouvait seulement la pizza Marinara elle était préparée avec de la sauce tomate, de l'ail et de l'origan, et sans fromage. En 1889, lors de la visite du roi Umberto ler et de la reine Margherita di Savoia à Naples, Raffaele voulait surprendre la reine en préparant une pizza aux couleurs du drapeau italien, avec le rouge de la sauce tomate, le blanc du fromage mozzarella et vert du basilic et Naples est devenue célèbre grâce à la pizza Margherita et au "pizzaiuolo" Raffaele

"In 1889, King Umberto I and Queen Margherita of Savoy visited Naples. Esposito baked them a pizza named in honor of the queen whose colors mirrored those of the Italian flag: red (tomatoes), white (mozzarella), and green (basil leaves). This is what is now known as the classic Neapolitan pizza today."

Oh and fuck, there's this lovely pizza that briefly became my favourite pizza that now is just not the same anymore, I don't know if they changed something in the recipe, or changed the pizzaiolo, but man it'd make me close my eyes and all that

At the restaurant where the Margherita pizza was invented. It doesn't get any more authentic than this! 🍕🇮🇹

After reading Bitter Teeth and knowing you speak Italian, are there scenarios and stories you'd still like to explore having Italy as your background? And what are you favorite Italian historical periods to play with?

holy moly, months later she's finally decided to give you some sort of answer to a very interesting ask! :'0

i'm sorry i'm on my knees i'm grovelling cake i'm so sorry

i'll be honest, i love italy, i love italian, i love italians, and i would love to use it as a setting more often if it suits a fic - in a heartbeat. having been to a fair few areas now (Puglia you're next on my list bby i promise) there are such beautiful places i would love to use as backdrops, even for short works. a little romantic trip to Verona, a wet weekend in Venice, a sea swim in the marina in Naples across the bay from Vesuvius...

i think it helps with writing when you've been somewhere and can weave in personal experiences or even memories. i'd like to do it more in general, though i find my mind is not programmed easily for fluffy encounters haha. but i have fond memories of italy and i'd love to use them more as inspiration.

(what i'm trying to say is i suffered climbing up Vesuvius after a morning spent walking Herculaneum and i want someone - toni, south italy, whoever! - to feel my pain!)

anywho. as for historical periods... i dunno. as a student i only ever studied Risorgimento onwards, and very politically-based. i think the Renascimento in Florence would be interesting. i really loved visiting Davide and Venere haha (my duomo experience on the other hand...). and i'd love to learn more of Venice as a kingdom. Roman Italy i guess is a must, though i've already dabbled. otherwise, i'm not too sure....

though, when in Rome... i could send toni to walk around the Colosseum and Roman Forum omgggg... let him walk around and have his thoughts... a lil' character study...

i am never getting over leaving the Colosseum and finding a public water dispenser with sparkling water.......

OH THE TEMPLES! there were temples in the Forum! there's the Tempio di Antonino (e Faustina, ahem) and the Tempio di Romolo just across the way! i remember my mind working overtime with that nugget. the romespa was stalking me tirelessly on that part of my trip. and i'm yet to be cured!

anyways i hope that has in some way answered your question(?). i've not put much thought into the italies as characters themselves - i don't feel the same kind of draw to them that i feel with toni - but it would be curious to. i'd love to do more research into Venice during the times of the Ottoman Empire, in its sort of golden era. i'm sure i've seen a documentary or two, and i may even have a book... hmmm...

so many little threads to follow and not enough hours in the day, sadly, to do so :')

thank you for sending in the ask, it gave me an excuse to look back on some much loved holiday pics haha (and sorry again for taking my sweet time responding!) :)

Pizza, a meal fit for a queen!

amore e pizza, mi manca quella giornata di inizio autunno

[slightly-gay-pogohammer]

So real talk: pizza. Obviously you can get it with the fresh mozzarella, e.g.

But I am given to understand that you have never had a pizza like this?

I personally prefer the latter to the former, and I didn’t think it was an American thing. I’m sure I’ve seen the latter type of pizza in other countries.

it's not. it's literally pizza but if you cut the mozzarella in small dices and spread it everywhere instead of just slapping the big rounds on there

i personally prefer the second version actually, but mostly bc im not a huge fan of tomato sauce and i like the cheese much more. the first version is a LITTLE too flat to be considered a naples pizza but it's usually made like that a little more in the south, in the north it's much easier to find the second version
