On June 21, a crowd gathered in Via dei Tribunali, just outside the entrance to Gino e Toto Sorbillo, Naples’s most famous pizzeria. For miles around, people chanted, “Pizza popolare!,” Italian for “Pizza for the people!”
Gino Sorbillo himself was at the center of the hundreds of people, distributing pizza al portafoglio (smaller pizzas that you can fold in half and eat with your hands) for free. “In front of pizza, we are all the same,” he yelled as he held up a slice, “and everyone should be able to afford one!” The crowd cheered in approval.
