Here's an amusing diversion - a series of short advertisements for the Italian company Caruso, suit manufacturer to many international brands, all told in a very creative style, a short 3 part movie on you tube.

The main character is an Italian prince - the prince of Soragna - an actual commune in the province of Parma, indeed, the real prince of Soragna - Diofebo Meli Lupi - has a cameo role in part III as a barber.

Here's a little more background on Caruso, now owned by Brioni''s former CEO:

After watching the clip I remain with a little doubt regarding the pizza fritta that the Prince and Vittorio enjoy in the back streets of Naples. The Prince clearly calls it pizza fritta but a minute later the children surprised me calling it pizzella.
My Italian roots and infancy recollections tell me that a "pizzella" is a wafer-like sweet cookie. Were the children calling the pizza frita just "little pizza" in kiddie talk or were they referring to it with another usual name? Is there any Neapolitan member reading this thread who could clarify this doubt?

Hectorm, as person born and educated in Naples I can confirm that in the neapolitan languange the term ´´ pizzella ´´just indicates the '´ pizza fritta ´´ whose size is smaller than that of baked pizza. Angelo
