PIZZA, AN ITALIAN PASSION
Also pizza can boast a century-old history that, according to some people, has its origins in the Etruscan cooking. Nevertheless, the pizza that we know at present, which is soft and tasty, was invented in the 17th Century: it was the ‘mas­tunicola,’ i.e. a disk of dough with lard, cheese, basil and pepper. The arrival of tomatoes from America permitted the creation of the modern pizza, and the invention of the pizza ‘par excel­lence,’ pizza Margherita, is due to another Ne­apolitan. The pizza maker Raffaele Esposito, at the request of Queen Margherita, who was the wife of Umberto I King of Italy, prepared three different pizzas, one of them was garnished with tomato, mozzarella cheese and basil and had the same colours of the Italian flag. The queen particularly liked this pizza, so the pizza maker decided to call it with her name.

Per l’Unesco, il know-how culinario legato alla produzione della pizza, che comprende gesti, canzoni, espressioni visuali, gergo locale, capacità di maneggiare l’impasto della pizza, esibirsi e condividere è un indiscutibile patrimonio culturale. I pizzaiuoli e i loro ospiti si impegnano infatti in un rito sociale, il cui bancone e il forno fungono da “palcoscenico” durante il processo di produzione della pizza, la più amata nel mondo.

For Unesco, the culinary know-how linked to the production of pizza, which includes gestures, songs, visual expressions, local jargon, ability to handle pizza dough, perform and share is an indisputable cultural heritage. Pizzaiuoli and their guests in fact engage in a social ritual, whose counter and the oven act as a “stage” during the production process of pizza, the most loved in the world.

ICE-CREAM, AN ITALIAN PLEASURE
An Italian is said to have invented ice-cream as we know it: the Florentine Bernardo Buon­talenti. Nevertheless, a real boom in ice-cream occurred in the mid-17th Century, thanks to a Sicilian gentleman, Francesco Procopio Cotelli, the founder the Café Procope in Paris that be­came famous for the meetings of the Illuminists. Considering its enormous success, Sicilian and Neapolitan ice-cream makers became popular throughout Europe. It was a real revolution in the field of taste, which was further widespread thanks to another Italian who had emigrated to the US: Italo Marchiony. He was an ice-cream maker in Saint Louis and during an important fair, he asked a confectioner who was in a stand next to him to lend him a wafer to mould it as a container for his delicious product. This way the first ice-cream cone was created.

ITALIAN HOSPITALITY, ITALIAN RESTAURANTS IN THE WORLD
The network of Italian restaurants in the world certified with the ‘Italian Hospitality’ seal is central to the Italian Agenda for Expo 2015. The project, organized by Unioncamere, which as of today has identified almost 2,000 ‘ambassadors’ of Italian culinary tradition in over fifty different countries, has officially been included as one of the initiatives adopted by the government to promote Italy’s presence in the world in view of the upcoming Universal Exposition. The Expo is a strategic event which will give global visibility to the high quality of Italian products, and is also an extraordinary opportunity to accelerate our country’s process of modernization and to establish more solid international relationships.

THE ITALIANS, THE MOST HEALTHY AND LONG LIVING IN THE WORLD
We are the country with the most healthy popu­lation worldwide. A newborn Italian has today a life expectancy of over 80 years and enjoys the best of life for the rest of life on average, as everyone else in the world reads in the report. In the ranking of “healthiest” countries, after Italy, there are Iceland, Switzerland, Singapore, Australia. This is in great part thanks to the Med­iterranean Diet. A food regime rich in fruit, veg­etables and extra virgin olive oil is in fact very healthy. Fruits of an Italian history and tradition, strictly linked to the soil of origin, this food re­gime is part of our extraordinary national agri-food heritage.
