This Is Italy
Italian pizza makers have returned the title of the longest pizza in the world to where it belongs: Italy. The pizzaiolos have made a pizza that is more than a kilometer long.
In the Calabrian village of Rende, they worked nonstop for 1.299 hours last weekend on the XNUMX meter long pizza, shattering the previous record held by Spain. This reported the newspaper Il Quotidiano del Sud.
To bake the pizza, a special oven was needed, through which the pizza could be rolled. After one portion was baked, it was rolled onto a table and then it was the turn of the next portion.
A critical jury made up of judges, a notary, a lawyer and a surveyor was called in to measure the length of the pizza winding from Piazza San Carlo Borromeo to Piazza Matteotti.
Some 60.000 men, women and children witnessed it. Either as a volunteer to help with the pizza, or as an admiring audience. And undoubtedly: to prevent waste and to help consume the huge pizza.
Although a record was broken, the main goal of the event was to raise money for a van for the elderly and disabled in the province of Cosenza.
The previous record was 1.141 meters and was set in the Spanish village of Tomellaso, in the Castilla de La Mancha region, in 2011.
