Seventh anniversary for the art of Neapolitan pizzaiuolo
NAPLES (ITALPRESS) – An important celebration was held at the ancient Pizzeria Brandi, in honor of the seventh anniversary of the recognition of the art of Neapolitan pizza making as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The event, promoted by the UniVerde Foundation, saw the participation of numerous representatives of the city and cultural scene.
Un incontro tra tradizione e culture
During the ceremony, a new artisanal nativity scene created by master nativity scene maker Gennaro De Filippo was inaugurated. Among the prominent participants were the Rector of the Federico II University, Matteo Lorito, and the owners of the historic pizzeria, Eduardo and Paolo Pagnani. This occasion not only celebrates an important culinary tradition, but also strengthens the cultural ties of the city.
A heritage that fights Italian sounding
Alfonso Pecoraro Scanio, a key figure in organizing the event, highlighted the impact of the Unesco recognition on the art of Neapolitan pizza making. These seven years have seen an increase in the demand for pizza makers trained according to traditional standards and in the export of Campania and Italian agri-food products. Pecoraro Scanio highlighted how the Unesco recognition has played a crucial role in combating the phenomenon of Italian sounding and in promoting job opportunities in the sector.
