Who Invented Pizza?

[KMack]

The downtown area. We were in town doing a show for 2 weeks. There is some really good Italian food downtown too. We also hit the KY area with all the bars. I don't remember much. I was in my 20's and drunk for the 2 weeks I was there.

That is how to do it. Scotti's Downtown is really good then across the bridge in Newport is Pompilios.

The Greek one is not like the Italian, two different origins.

Do not appropriate things of other countries. Pizza developed of what is it in Italy.

Do not appropriate things of other countries... Oh my LORD! What a statement coming from Italy. Italy wants to be Greece so bad, it's not even funny.

But seriously... the only thing that really grinds my gears is everyone on the planet using Lambda as an A. That is really appropriating my culture.

Oh yeah... Greeks invented Pizza. Don't be upset.

The Romans stole philosophy, education, medicine, and the arts from Greece, usually by importing Greek people with this knowledge. In the 1st century BCE the Roman poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus, commonly known as Horace, provided a meaningful quote on the effect Greek culture had on the Romans:

“Captive Greece took captive her savage conqueror, and brought civilization to barbarous Latium.” Horace, Epistles 2.1 157-58

Essentially he believed that even though Rome had conquered the major Greek city states militarily, because Greek culture was so influential, when the Romans brought masses of art work, sculpture, literature and captives back to Rome, it changed the culture of Rome so significantly that it was as if Greece had been the victor not the opposite.

Greece is to reclaim hundreds of looted art works and antiquities from museums and private collections around the world, the government said yesterday. Emboldened by the J Paul Getty Museum's move to return two prized antiquities to Greek ownership, Athens had decided to demand more repatriations, said the culture minister, Giorgos Voulgarakis. A list is being made of items believed to have been illicitly removed.

"Whatever is Greek, wherever in the world, we want back," Mr Voulgarakis told the Guardian. "This development with the Getty is a very important step, but just the beginning." Asked how many works were in question, he said: "We're not talking about a handful, we're talking about hundreds of artefacts that have ended up in many different places."

Sorry but Rome "stolen" nothing I'm tired to see the abuse of this word. Rome conquered and ADOPTED some of the foreigner conquered countries customs while still aslo retaining their own autoctonus culture.

Not to mention that not everyone in Rome were happy of the introduction of Greek culture.

Hey but why everytime I remark Rome war and cultural achievements everyone bark about Ancient Rome not being the same thing as Italy while when people want to troll Ancient Rome magically become the same thing?

I asked you to post examples of Italy not of Ancient Rome...

Also, The Guardian? Please... Do you have any idea how many piece of Art have been stolen from Italy? War is war unfortunately.

The Truth hurts. I know.... but it is true. Google "who invented Pizza" and learn the truth for yourself.

It comes Raffaele Esposito, an Italian. Nice try though.

Italy gets credit for Pizza and Greece for Gyros, at least in the USA that is how it is.

It's not who invented Pizza but for how long Pizza has been round.
