Zuppa Inglese is one of the most popular spoon dessert in Italy. Many countries love it and say they invented it. The contenders are Naples, Rome and two region: Tuscany and Emilia Romagna. England is not between them. It’s for sure that it has nothing to do with the Zuppa. The “English Soup” (Zuppa Inglese) is italianissima, no doubt!

Emilia Romagna stands out from the other. In this region there is more than one city that claims to invented it. For sure this is not the absolute truth, it’s  only the best hypothesis we have.  In Emilia Romagna there are two contenders.  We have to go back at Renaissance time. At that time Emilia Romagna region had different court. Cities were independent one from each other and sometimes in war with each other.
