Rome, known as the Eternal City, with it’s glorious past and thrilling present day life is one of the most influential and exciting cities in the world. It has been a center for politics, religion, art, music and cooking.
During the Renaissance, Rome became well-known as a centre of high-cuisine, since some of the best chefs of the time, worked for the popes. An example of this could be Bartolomeo Scappi, who was a chef, working for Pius IV in the Vatican kitchen, and who acquired fame in 1570 when his cookbook Opera dell’arte del cucinare was published. In the book he lists approximately 1000 recipes of the Renaissance cuisine and describes cooking techniques and tools, giving the first known picture of a fork.
