Looking up the term ‘pizza’<\/strong> on the Italian dictionary, its nature as a feminine noun immediately springs to mind.<\/p>\n
Pizza is woman<\/h4>\n
To understand what is meant in Naples when people say ‘a pizz \u00e8 femmena’<\/strong>, we have with us the very talented Jessica De Vivo<\/strong>, pizza maker and owner of the pizzeria MaryRose<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“First of all, I would like to extend a warm greeting to all Initaly readers. \nThe fact that pizza is “femmena” (female) is confirmed by its etymology: among the various determinative articles, we use “LA”<\/strong>. \nPrecisely because pizza is ‘femmena’, I decided to embark on this path of mine at the age of just 7 and now I can say that I am really proud of what I do.<\/p>\n
I am a little sorry that the number of female pizza makers is not in proportion with the number of male pizza makers. I think the number of us women could grow much more. \nThis year, women triumphed at the Pizza Village<\/strong> at the Caputo World Championship<\/strong>, with the victory of Madoka Shibamoto<\/strong> from Japan, in the contemporary pizza category. So I think we know how to do very well, and I am very happy about that. \nUndoubtedly, women also have much more elegance in the preparation of pizza.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
