In simple English and Italian prose, a little girl describes life in her Tuscan town and the long, rich history of her favorite food. Intensely colored expressionistic illustrations contrast modern and historic scenes. The generous back matter (seemingly adult-aimed) includes an author's note, historical information, pronunciation guide, and a recipe for Pizza Margherita (named for an Italian queen).
