It is the late nineteenth century.On the deck of a steamship sailing from Naples to New York, hundreds of passengers stand looking out to sea. Some have never travelled beyond their hometowns. They carry little luggage and even less money, sometimes nothing more than an address written on a scrap of paper. Others bring photographs, letters and religious images, small reminders of the lives they are leaving behind. But not everything can be packed into a suitcase. Many of these travellers carry something else with them. A tradition that belongs to the narrow streets of Naples: Pizza.Nobody aboard that ship can imagine that this humble street food, created to feed people who had very little, will one day become one of the world's most recognisable symbols of Italy.Tales of Naples is a podcast produced by Kisgood MediaCreated and written by Roberto Di Stasio Lepre Editorial supervision: Amalia VergariPost-production: Andrea Di CelloSource research: Franco CappelliProduction assistant: Stefano VergariVoice: Ian Andrews
