  • SANT'AGATA DE' GOTI, ITALY - 13 November 2013: Domenico Lingelli, the 33-years old owner of Bar Normanno, shows the freshly baked cake his father prepared and that they dedicate to the new mayor of New York, in Sant'Agata de' Goti, Italy, on November 13th, 2013. The sponge-cake - with white chocolate and hazelnut filling - has cocoa powder topping that spells out the mayor’s name on<br />
the cake top, with a skyline of Sant'Agata de' Goti. Sant'Agata de' Goti is the town that Bill de Blasio’s maternal grandfather, Giovanni de Blasio, left over a<br />
hundred years ago for the United States.

  • NAPLES, ITALY - 14 JULY 2017: A babà made bu Raffaele Capparelli (52), owner of the Pasticceria Capriccio, in Naples, Italy, on July 14th 2017. Raffaele Capparelli is a patissier since 1984, when he inherited the art of pastry making from his father.<br />
<br />
The babà is a small yeast cake saturated in syrup made with hard liquor, usually rum, and sometimes filled with whipped cream or pastry cream.<br />
<br />
The original form of the baba was similar to the babka, a tall, cylindrical yeast cake (babka is still cooked in Ukraine, Poland and in Ukrainian and Polish communities over the world). The name means "old woman" or "grandmother" in the Slavic languages; babka is a diminutive of baba.<br />
<br />
The modern baba au rhum (rum baba), with dried fruit and soaking in rum, was invented in the rue Montorgueil in Paris, France, in 1835 or before.<br />
<br />
The baba was later brought to Naples by Neapolitan cooks sent by Maria Carolina of Austria, the wife of the Spanish King Ferdinand I of Bourbon, to her sister Marie Antoinette.

Torrential rains on Saturday November 26th sent a powerful landslide plowing through Casamicciola Terme, killing eight residents — including a newborn baby and two small children — and washing away houses and burying streets. This week, rescue workers and volunteers continued to dig for survivors and to unearth the town from under thick rivers of mud.

  • LUGO, ITALY - 5 JANUARY 2020: Matteo Salvini, former Interior Minister of Italy and leader of the far-right League party, looks at a cake with the party sign at a dinner in Lugo, Italy, on January 5th 2020.<br />
<br />
Matteo Salvini is campaigning in the region of Emilia Romagna to support the League candidate Lucia Borgonzoni running for governor.<br />
<br />
After being ousted from government in September 2019, Matteo Salvini has made it a priority to campaign in all the Italian regions undergoing regional elections to demonstrate that, in power or not, he still commands considerable support.<br />
<br />
The January 26th regional elections in Emilia Romagna, traditionally the home of the Italian left, has been targeted by Matteo Salvini as a catalyst for bringing down the government. A loss for the center-left Democratic Party (PD) against Mr Salvini’s right would strip the centre-left party of control of its symbolic heartland, and probably trigger a crisis in its coalition with the Five Star Movement.

<br />
Cantina del Gallo, in the Rione Sanità, was established in 1898 and run by four generations of the Silvestri family. The cantina began as a store selling bulk wine and oil. It was only in the 1950s, when the legendary Aunt Cuncetta began cooking, that it became the simple and genuine tavern it is today.<br />
There are three dishes that are the restaurant’s workhorses, and the ones we always seem to rotate between: the pennette alla sorrentina (a variation of the classic gnocchi alla sorrentina, seasoned with tomato, basil and stringy mozzarella), the baked cod (although the fried cod is just as mouth-watering) and the pizza cafona (peasant pizza), topped with oregano, cheese, chile and with double the tomatoes (tomato juice and chopped tomatoes).
