Salvatore is also passionate about history, art and culture. His wholemeal wheat pizza dough, baked over a wood fire, tastes like the dough served at the court of the Medici. “At that time, exceptional food embodied a family’s power. Each had its own trusted cook because of the risk of poisoning. They did not spin pizza dough above their heads: made with wholemeal flour, it would have broken into a thousand pieces.”
