The History of Stromboli
Did you know that the name "stromboli" has a bit of a dramatic backstory? According to Romano Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria, Nazzareno Romano, an immigrant, whipped it up in 1950 in Essington, Pennsylvania. His future brother-in-law thought it would be a great idea to name it after the movie "Stromboli," which was all the rage thanks to the off-screen fling between Ingrid Bergman and director Roberto Rossellini. Talk about a recipe seasoned with a side of scandal! Who knew pizza rolls could have such a juicy history? Stromboli is also the name of an active Volcano on an Island in the Tyrrhenian sea off the coast of Calabria.
