The mission: Your story in Naples
You have already learned a lot from your grandfather, but he insists that if you really want to become the best pizza chef in New York, you must travel to his birthplace which is also the birthplace of pizza, Naples, Italy.
When saying goodbye, he tells you:
"Napoli will shock you, but Don Michele will make sure, that it's the right kind of shock. Buon viaggio!"
Neapolitan pizza context
A living craft, not only a famous recipe
UNESCO recognizes the art of the Neapolitan pizzaiuolo as an intangible cultural practice transmitted through workshops, families and the community of Naples. The tradition includes dough preparation, shaping, oven work and performance, not simply a list of ingredients. This quest uses an original story to explore the city where that living craft developed.
