Margherita da Di Matteo a Napoli.
Ancora una bella foto, dall’alto, di una delle pizze migliori che abbia mangiato a Napoli.
Dal momento che probabilmente per un po’ non riusciro’ piu’ a mangiarne nel capoluogo campano, mi rimangono le splendide immagini che ho scattato negli ultimi mesi a bordo nella sosta del lunedi’ a Napoli.
La pizzeria e’ Di Matteo (recensione di TripAdvisor).

Neapolitan pizza, with a soft and thin dough, but with high edges, is the version of the round pizza prepared in the city of Naples. It is considered, on a global scale, as the Italian pizza par excellence. Since 5 February 2010 it has been officially recognized as a Traditional Specialty Guaranteed by the European Union and in 2017 the art of the Neapolitan pizza maker, of which Neapolitan pizza is a tangible product, was declared by UNESCO as an intangible heritage of humanity.

The green husks of the chestnut tree

Ricci verdi di castagno

The green burrs of the chestnut tree.
The mushroom season is starting, but also the chestnut season.
A few days ago, taking a stroll towards San Bernardo, I photographed these beautiful burrs, still green, from which beautiful and tasty chestnuts will emerge.

At first it is green in colour; after maturation (when it opens into 2-4 valves) it becomes yellow-brownish. Internally it is cream in colour, covered with fine hairs. The dome is sub-spherical in shape with a diameter varying from 6–7 cm in wild plants to 10–15 cm in cultivated ones.

The Face of Departure: One of the Remains of Pompeii

The face of the departed: one of the remains of Pompeii.
The face of the departed in this remnant of the city of Pompeii, one of the finds that struck me the most (which is not a statue but I will explain later).
As you all know, Pompeii is the Roman town that around the year zero was swept away, together with Herculaneum, by one of the largest eruptions of Vesuvius.
I used the words "swept away" which are actually not correct. In fact, the fury of the volcano, rather than destroying, covered the town with a layer of dust and lava.
It all happened so suddenly that many did not even manage to escape. The subject of this photo in fact represents one of those people who, surprised by the erection, sought shelter somewhere in vain. It is shocking to observe the hands trying to cover the face.

Pompeii (Latin: Pompeii) is an ancient city, corresponding to the current Pompeii, whose history dates back to the 9th century BC and ends in 79, when, following the eruption of Vesuvius, it was covered under a blanket of ash and lapilli about six meters high. Its rediscovery and the related excavations, begun in 1748, brought to light an archaeological site that in 1997 became part of the UNESCO World Heritage list, and which is the second most visited Italian monument after the museum system of the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine.
