on January 17th in Naples we celebrate St. Anthony and the pizza chefs – Italian Cuisine


On the day in which the celebration of the saint occurs, in the capital of Naples they set up the Pizzaiuolo Day to recall an ancient tradition of bonfire propitiators and propose a special pizza

After the proclamation of the Art of Neapolitan Pizzaiolo to the Unesco World Heritage of Unesco, countless new initiatives have sprung up to celebrate pizza and its masters. One of these is the "City Day of the Neapolitan Pizzaiuolo" which, established a year ago by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana and the Associazione Pizzaiuoli Napoletani, is celebrated in Naples on January 17th.

Sant'Antonio and the pizza chefs

Why this date? It is the recurrence of Saint Anthony the Abbot, considered protector of bakers and pizza makers, a day in which, in ancient times, the Neapolitan families closed the pizzerias for half a day and went to a restaurant in Capodimonte, Colli Aminei, to light together a propitiatory bonfire.

Those of the classic Margherita, tomato, mozzarella, oil and basil, and then sausage, spicy salami and ricotta.

Naples, a bomb against the Sorbillo pizzeria – Italian Cuisine

Naples, a bomb against the Sorbillo pizzeria


The bomb exploded in the night before the entrance to the room: the guardian is miraculously saved. But, despite the bitterness, the owner invites us to look forward

A bomb broke out in the night before the entrance to the room, in the heart of Naples, in via Tribunali. Someone wanted to blow up the historic Sorbillo pizzeria; or at least scare the owners. Fortunately, no one was hurt: only the entrance to the room has been damaged. Two gates of iron beyond the entrance have muffled the explosion and avoided that the night watchman, who was right near the door, was torn: it is miraculously saved. A damage for a few thousand euros, so much fright and great bewilderment.

Previous

It is not the first time that Sorbillo, a famous brand all over the world, is targeted: five years ago the pizzeria had suffered a fire, as the owner on Facebook remembers, a post announcing the temporary closure of the room: «I apologize with all the" good "Naples," good "Italy and with all the people who live honestly because certain events so strong and striking, they drop their arms and demoralize society. I've been in the Arma dei Carabinieri ed I chose to make Pizzaiolo because I love my city too much and I will love her forever. "Healthy" Naples is always in my heart ".

The situation

Meanwhile, mayor and law enforcement officers are analyzing video surveillance cameras. "Who put the bomb did not escape to the lower part of the city," explains Sorbillo. "But he got into an alley, maybe aboard a moped. I have 24 cameras in the area, all the dealers have video surveillance systems, I believe that the police can identify plaque and somatic traits.

But bitterness remains. «We have filled Naples with our work, our talent, tourism. We have worked through the network and social networks to communicate a different city, perhaps they wanted to attack a symbol of this rebirth, this bomb is a message of intimidation towards others who also have a lower ability to stand up than me .

Sorbillo, however, looks forward, and remember that on January 17 in all the pizzerias in the city there will be the celebrations for the Pizza-maker's day in honor of the patron saint of pizzaiolo, Sant'Antonio abate. "Hundreds of restaurants will serve a special pizza to their customers and this will be an opportunity for me to remind all the pizza makers of the city that we must always be united. Go on.
