Ferran AdriĆ  tries pizza by descendant of legendary pizzaiolo

Aldo Brandi

In an LA TimesĀ article about FerranĀ AdriĆ ’s plans to open a pizzeria in Barcelona, the elBulli chef is shown sampling a pizza margherita at Turin ‘s Frattelli La Cozza [corso Regio Parco 39, tel: +39 011859900 map.] That pizzeria may take its name from brothers Carlo and Guilio Fratelli, but its claim to fame is Aldo Brandi, the sole living pizzaiolo directly descended from Raffaele Esposito Brandi. According to legend, Raffaele created the tricolored pizza ā€“ basil green, mozzarella white, tomato red ā€“ to honor Margherita, first queen of the united Italy.Ā The Buster Keaton-like photo is of Aldo Brandi, though I’m not sure if he’s in the frame, holding the frame or both.
