In this case, the 4 stagioni pizza margherita is used as the base, although other media have mentioned that Neapolitan pizza is used as the base.

As a curiosity, in a very similar way, you can find the pizza capricciosa, which is a variant of it that uses similar ingredients such as artichokes and mushrooms.

The symbology of the 4 seasons

The name of this popular classic pizza is not a mere coincidence. Each of the four parts has its own association with each season of the year:

The islands of the four seasons

On the line of the equator there are various islands that are located across the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. However, some of them are located in the center of the equator and the seasons are interspersed depending on the hemisphere in which they are located.

This phenomenon is rare to appreciate and find, but it is possible to be located in a different season of the year in the center of the equator where the hemispheres intersect. Logically, it is easy to go from one season to another by changing sides of the hemisphere.

world pizza day

Like many dishes such as paella, the margarita cocktail or lasagna, pizza also has its international day, which in this case is celebrated on February 9. The existence of this day is curiously linked to the controversial policy of the Icelandic president’s Hawaiian pizza, which he used as a political weapon for his campaign with the threat of banning it.

The debate went viral on the social network Twitter and in order to claim the rights of pizza, UNESCO itself declared that February 9 would be its international day for being part of the intangible heritage of humanity for all the culinary tradition that precedes.
