‘World’s oldest pizza’ unearthed in 2000 year-old painting of ‘distant ancestor’
A Roman fresco has been discovered that reveals what could be an ancient ancestor of pizza from 2,000 years ago. The painting was recently discovered during excavations in the Regio IX area of Pompeii’s archaeological park in Italy. The remains of the Roman city are close to Naples, the birthplace of pizza, and the artwork itself is believed to be two thousand years old. "What was depicted on the wall of an ancient Pompeian house could be a distant ancestor of the modern dish,” experts at the archaeological park said in a statement. The fresco appears to depict a round focaccia bread served with a variety of fruits. Experts think the bread is seasoned with a herb cheese spread known as a moretum which was eaten by the Romans, The Guardian reported. The bread is served with wine and fruits including pomegranate, a date and something that looks like pineapple although that fruit was not discovered by Europeans until 1493 when Christopher Columbus came across it in Guadeloupe. The "pizza" also lacks two classic ingredients; tomatoes and mozzarella. Tomatoes were introduced to Europe from the Americas in the 16th century and so were unavailable in Roman times.- Some experts believe that the discovery of mozzarella may have led directly to the invention of pizza in the 1700s. Pompeii itself was buried under ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79AD. More than 1,300 victims have been found over the last 250 years in the archaeological site 14 miles south of Naples. Every resident died when the city was hit by a ‘pyroclastic’ hot surge. These surges are a collection of hot gas and volcanic materials that flow down the side of an erupting volcano at high speed. They are more dangerous than lava because they are faster, with speeds of 450mph and temperatures of 1,000C. Read More Italy might stop hiring foreign museum directors.

Dior’s couture show was the epitome of quiet luxury
Dior’s haute couture runway show in Paris saw the French fashion house tap into the most exclusive trend of the moment: quiet luxury. Brought to the fore by HBO television show Succession – which put the spotlight on the ultra-wealthy – quiet luxury is all about sleek, understated clothes that ooze elegance and wealth. Dior’s latest show took place at the Musée Rodin in Paris, a grand 18th-century mansion that displays Auguste Rodin’s work, most notably the famous sculpture The Thinker. In keeping with creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri’s continued dedication to feminism, the collection was themed around female narratives and representation in ancient mythology. The show opened with a model wearing a classic white gown with caped sleeves trailing to the ground. This set the aesthetic tone – models wore lots of long, flowing gowns in muted colours – mainly whites, earthy tones, navy or grey hues. There was lots of layering, sheer panels and flowing skirts – but everything was so precisely tailored that silhouettes were kept crisp and sharp. After all, this was a couture collection – seen as the pinnacle of craftsmanship, garments are one-of-a-kind and require a lot more skill, time and money to produce. While clothes were mainly left plain – as is the trend within quiet luxury – there was the odd subtle accent. Think intricate knotwork, heavy beading and floral appliques, adding to the overall feeling of wealth and glamour. The styling was kept simple – models wore their hair in low ponytails with a centre parting – and Dior made the case for a new trend: wearing one statement drop earring, instead of a pair. The show closed with a model wearing a heavily embellished caped gown – like a more formal, red carpet-ready version of the opening look. Celebrity guests on the front row also wore silhouettes and simple designs that felt like quiet luxury. Australian actor Elizabeth Debicki – who plays Diana, Princess of Wales in The Crown – kept things chic and French-inspired with her outfit, wearing a black beret with netting over the top, a simple white tank top and a black leather skirt. House ambassador Natalie Portman wore a white strapless gown with watercolour-style pastel accents. A familiar face on the Dior front row, actor Rosamund Pike had her hair slicked back, and donned a black dress with an off-the-shoulder neckline. At the end of the show, designer Maria Grazia Chiuri took a brief bow, her own outfit another prime example of understated luxury: a simple yet impeccably tailored navy suit.
