Stromboli on the Mind

 Italian Stromboli

In Sicily there is an island called Stromboli which has one of the three active volcanoes in Italy, called Mt. Stromboli! Some say that Nazzareno Romano took the name for his delicious rolled pizza creation from this, after how the ingredients look like they are about to explode from a volcano. There is another version to the story however, which is that he was inspired by the love affair between the actors Roberto Rossellini and Ingrid Bergman on set during the filming of “Stromboli Terra di Dio”. Whichever the truth, they no doubt will make for great conversation starters at your next dinner party!
