Tasty Facts
– According to legend, the soup was born in the vicinity of the Italian city of Pavese in 1525, when the army of the Holy Roman Empire defeated the French king Francis I. The defeated monarch wandered into a local farm in search of food and asked the hostess to feed him something – from everything that was under hand, she prepared the first pavese.
– The town of Pavese (today it is called the commune of Robecco-Pavese) is located in the heart of Lombardy, one of the northern regions of Italy, with picturesque nature, excellent wines and delicious cuisine made from local products.
– The reign of Francis I went down in history with the beginning of the wars between the Habsburgs (Spain, Germany) and the French dynasties of the Valois and the Bourbons, the formation of absolutism within the country and the development of the Renaissance. Francis was an eccentric personality, so such a simple soup attracted his attention and eventually gained fame throughout the world.
