La storia della pizza: nasce quasi 5000 anni prima di Napoli

The history of pizza begins almost 5,000 years before Naples—on the banks of the Nile, with a mistake in a grain warehouse. In this video, we retrace the journey of pizza from Ancient Egypt to Greece, from Rome to Bourbon Naples, up to the true story (and legend) of the 1889 Margherita pizza, and finally to the global explosion of pizza in the 20th century, amid Italian immigration and postwar America. If you've always wondered where the world's most famous Italian dish really comes from, and how much of what you know is legend, this video is for you.
