All we need is Love
and a slice of Pizza.
|
When I opened this blog some 10 years ago, I decided to talk about the less exploited subjects related to Italy. As a logo, I chose a strawberry dropping into milk because I wanted the colours of the Italian flag paired with an unconventional symbol. And strawberries are quite far from being associated to the Belpaese.
|
I started this blog because I wanted to talk about different locations, not just Venice or Rome or Sorrento. And even if I write about these famous destinations, I prefer to focus on the roads less travelled. But when you talk about Naples, you deliberately fall into the biggest clichè: pizza.

Few weeks ago, back in Torino where I work and live, I called for a pizza delivery. I received my favourite with a handwritten note on it:
|
|
"On behalf of all the staff of PIZZI COTTO, I wish to thank you for choosing us. I this way, you are giving us the opportunity to provide jobs for all the guys that every night work hard to make and deliver a good pizza! THANK YOU AND ENJOY YOUR MEAL. By the way, should you have suggestions or complaints, do not hesitate to send us a message at the number 327-8997469. We will be happy to improve".

Covid-19 has found us vulnerable and fragile. At the beginning we all felt safe in our cocoons. With smart working, a lot of time on the sofa and social distancing, we might have though that a life without traffic jam, discussion with coworkers and relatives was not that bad. I don't know you, but now I feel the urge of a human touch. And that note proves me right.
|
It's not just delivering pizza. It is also about hearing "thank you" and "how are you" together with the tone of voice and maybe a smile.
|
Btw, the box content was great, so if you are looking for a Pizza, even with delivery, while in Turin: Pizzeria Pizzi Cotto in Via Coppino. If you call with a non-Italian mobile, add 0039 before 327.

What do you do if you are in Naples for 1 day? You can explore the ancient city centre and indulge yourself to delicious culinary delights like, guess what, pizza. I tried the famous Sorbillo, but I am afraid, the verdict is not what you might expect.
|
|
On the contrary, I went back to Scaturchio, which never disappoints my expectations.

What's next
I'll try to talk about the beautiful house I rented while I was at the seaside in Campania. It will be hard, considering that now I am in Turin and it's getting colder and colder.

Take a slow Sunday morning, a friend, a lot of gossip and go to Galleria Umberto I if you are in Torino. But if you are here to shop at the Market of Porta Palazzo, or for a business meeting, it works as well.

The first time I saw Besnik Harizaj it was in a shape of a Testa di Moro, in an Instagram story. I made a little research to find the craftsman and I immediately stumbled upon one name: Besnik Harizaj.
