The word scapece (pronounced skah-pech-ay) is believed to be related to the Spanish word escabeche meaning pickled, which makes sense seeing as the Spanish had a major presence in Naples back in the day. But the combo of zucchini, vinegar, and mint? That's decidedly Italian!
a traditional Tuscan dish, dates back to ancient times as "pan mollo." The name likely comes from "pane" (bread) and "zanella" (soup bowl). Each Italian region has its own unique version of this classic

pizze fritte
Deep-fried pizza is a tradition that stretches back nearly as far as the invention of pizza itself, to the 16th century, when the wives of Neapolitan piemen would fry the leftover scraps of dough and sell them on the street. More recently, pizza fritta was Sophia Loren’s muse in Vittorio De Sica’s 1954 movie, L’ Oro di Napoli. In it, a young, stunning Loren shows some skill at an open-air pizza counter, flouring and stretching the dough into modest discs and dropping them in a cauldron of hot oil.

A widespread belief says that in June 1889 the pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito invented a dish called "Pizza Margherita" in honor of the Queen of Italy, Margherita of Savoy, and the Italian unification since toppings are tomato (red), mozzarella (white) and basil (green), ingredients inspired by the colors of the national flag of Italy. A pizza made with the same toppings was already present in Naples between 1796 and 1810. In 1830, in the book Napoli, contorni e dintorni, written by Riccio, it was described as a pizza with tomato, mozzarella and basil.
