Did you know when the first pizza Margherita was created?

''If there is one name with which the invention of pizza can be associated, it is certainly that of Raffaele Esposito, owner of the historic Neapolitan tavern “Pizzeria di Pietro e Basta Così“.

It would have been him, in 1889, who dedicated a pizza to Queen Margherita of Savoy, after whom the queen of pizzas was named.

The ingredients used were intended to represent the Italian tricolor: tomato for the red, mozzarella for the white, and finally basil for the green. Pizza was a great success in the Kingdom of Naples, but it was not successful in adjacent territories until the early 1900s.''

Did You know what the unique fact about pigeons is?

Pigeons have a unique ability to find their way back to their nest from as far as 1,300 miles away! Even more impressive is that they are able to do so even if they were unable to see or hear where they were transported to and had no idea what direction they've moved in.
