| In Italy, a law which includes a step-by-step guide to the perfect pizza was passed. It covers the pizza’s shapes, depth, toppings, and even the way olive oil(橄榄油)must be poured on top. According to Alfredo Folliero, a member of the European Union Traditional Pizza Association, pizza-making is an art. You need passion to make pizza. He believes that the secret lies in the dough(面团) and how you roll it, which has developed over hundreds of years. It must be soft and elastic(有弹性的), according to the law. Special instruments are needed for making pizza. The law will be a basic rule for pizza-makers in Naples, where Italians say the pizza was born more than 300 years ago. They say that there are only three types of Neapolitan pizza. The first is Marinara with garlic. The second, a Margherita, must be made with tomatoes and cheese from the southern Apennine Mountains. Finally, the “Extra Margherita” must include mozzarella（一种意大利干酪）from Campania. A true Neapolitan pizza must be cooked in a wood-fired oven and the final product must be soft, elastic, and easy to fold in two, the law says. Pizza comes from the flat bread that is common to Mediterranean cultures. It has enjoyed a high status in Naples since the Margherita, on which are tomatoes and mozzarella, was invented in 1889.It was made in honor of a visit to the city by Queen Margherita, the wife of King Umberto I. Its ingredients(成分)were chosen to symbolize the red, white and green colours of the Italian national flag. The pizza police might not be too far, as pizza-makers will be checking the making of pizzas at all stages. 1.
