Pizzeria Starita was founded in Naples in 1901. Today, after four generations, it’s still thriving. The history of this ever- bustling pizzeria, beautifully narrated by Monica Piscitelli in the blog of acclaimed Neapolitan journalist Luciano Pignataro, describes its Neapolitan location, including its shrine to San Gennaro engraved with the date that the pizzeria first opened its doors in the working-class neighborhood of Materdei. Now Don Antonio Starita is in New York City too, partnering with Roberto Caporuscio of Kestè and his daughter Giorgia.

Quel popolo anti camorra in cammino
Il presidio dei territori a rischio è dato dal lavoro stabile e duraturo.
Quei preti, quei parroci, ancora in pochi ma determinati, insieme al loro popolo hanno scelto una chiesa in uscita e, mentre avanzano nel silenzio assordante di una politica assente, sono pronti a rivendicare dignità per se stessi e per la loro gente.
Non lasciarli soli è dovere di chi ancora crede nella democrazia.
