Valle Dhaos Tower is located in the northernmost part of Italy, at the junction of Switzerland and France, and its eating habits are greatly influenced by these two countries. The most common thing is that a lot of cheese is usually added to the diet. Swiss cheese fondue is the most traditional food here. Add rich Italian Fontina cheese to the pot, but unlike Swiss hot pot, the locals will add butter and eggs, and some truffles will taste better. However, although I don't like Swiss hot pot, it's a good experience to eat it once in a while, but I must enjoy the beauty of Jungfrau in Interlaken. Ha ha.

A glimpse of the eternal city
Ancient Rome, with thousands of years of historical sites, is rich in cultural heritage, and its magnificent architecture and shocking power are unforgettable for life. The whole city is like a microcosm of the prosperous ancient Rome. Every monument scattered in the city and corner seems to meet or miss history in the next corner.
Due to the previous flight delay, the original two-day trip to Rome was forced to be compressed into one day. Just a glance at this "eternal city" is a big surprise.
pizza
Among all kinds of pizzas, the most famous one is called "Margarita Pizza". If you can only choose one kind of food as the representative of Italian cuisine, I believe most Italians will not hesitate to vote for Margaret pizza.
There are always different opinions about the origin of pizza. According to the Italian-American Historical Association, the soldiers of the Roman Foreign Legion stationed in Palestine first seasoned local bread with herbs and olive oil without yeast powder, which was the embryonic form of pizza. There are also studies that pizza originated from a kind of pie called pita pie in ancient Turkey and Balkans, which is very similar in shape and pronunciation to pizza. There is also a saying that people in China often say that the ancestor of pizza is China's pie. According to legend, the Italian traveler Kyle polo never forgot the taste of China pie after traveling around China, so he asked a chef to imitate it according to the method he described. But the chef didn't know how to wrap the stuffing in noodles, so he had to sprinkle it directly on the cake, so Italian pie pizza was born.
Legend has it that Italians always think pizza is a great invention of their country. In 20 15, Italy formally applied to include traditional pizza in the intangible cultural heritage of mankind, so as to "swear sovereignty" to the whole world: Naples, Italy is the authentic origin of pizza!
The famous Margaret pizza is the representative of traditional pizza in Naples. According to the research of Italian historian Massimo Alberini, Marguerite Pizza first appeared on1June 6, 889. At that time, Italian King Umberto I and his wife Queen Margaret were on vacation in the Summer Palace in Naples. Queen Margaret had long heard about the reputation of pizza in Naples, and asked Papineau Brandi, the best local pizza chef, to make it for her. In honor of the Queen, Brandi made a pizza with tomatoes, cheese and basil as raw materials, and its red, white and green colors just echoed the flag of the Kingdom of Italy. Queen Margaret liked the taste and creativity of this pizza very much, and specially awarded Brandi a certificate of honor. The certificate was carefully preserved by Brandi and became the basis for the origin of Margaret's pizza name. 1780 Brandi Pizza Shop, the oldest pizza shop in Italy, is located in a small street near Naples Palace, where people can still taste Queen Margaret's favorite.
Although you can eat Marguerite pizza in almost any pizza shop in Italy, the selection and production process of authentic Marguerite pizza is very strict, and all ingredients including water and flour must be "traditional" products certified by the European Union. Durham wheat made in Italy should be used for flour, Mozzarella buffalo cheese made in Campania should be used for tomatoes, and San Marzano, a fresh and fragrant oval tomato in southern Italy. In addition, a small amount of Italian extra virgin olive oil and sea salt should be sprinkled on the pizza. The traditional wood-burning stove can only be used to bake pizza, and it also has strict requirements on the thickness and softness of the finished pizza: the thickness of the bread center is about 3 mm, the edge of the cake expands slightly, which is 1 to 2 mm higher than the center, and the taste is soft, and there should be a lingering fragrance of bread between the lips and teeth. After the delicious pizza is baked, add some fresh basil leaves to taste, and you're done. After such meticulous procedures, Margaret's pizza has gone beyond the boundaries of food and become an amazing work of art.
Many Italian literary works have described the street life in Naples in the18th century: pizza vendors put double copper barrels or boxes on their heads, the upper layer was filled with pizza, and the lower layer was kept warm by hot firewood. They shuttled through the streets, and the cries of selling were endless. There are also many sayings related to pizza in the local area, such as "Tell her that she has prepared a pizza tonight, instead of saying' I love you'" and "You want to send her roses and diamonds, but she only wants a piece of Margaret pizza", which makes people sigh that the charm of pizza is so great. No wonder the famous Italian comedian Toto said: "The pizza box is square, the pizza is round, and it is cut into triangles when eating. Look, life is in a pizza. "
