The painting was discovered in the ruins of Pompeii - just 14 miles (23km) from Naples, where the traditional art of pizza making has been granted UNESCO protection.
A 2,000-year-old painting uncovered in Pompeii could show a"distant ancestor" to the modern pizza, archaeologists have said.
Iconic ingredients such as tomato and mozzarella are nowhere to be seen, and it appears the flat focaccia bread has been seasoned with spices instead. The painting was discovered just 14 miles from Naples, where the traditional art of pizza making has been granted UNESCO protection. Since January, there has been a burst of archaeological activity that is designed to halt years of decay and neglect."Pompeii never ceases to amaze, it is a casket that always reveals new treasures," Italian culture minister Gennaro Sangiuliano said.Gabriel Zuchtriegel, the director of Pompeii's archaeological park, believes the artwork reminds us of how far the humble pizza has come.
