Mourning in Udine for the sudden death of Pietro di martino, known to all as Pierino. Yesterday morning, the mayor of Udine, Pietro Fontanini, had awarded him the Seal of the City, as historical administrator of the premises. This afternoon the terrible news: the king of pizza passed away, struck by a heart attack shortly after 6 in the afternoon, while he was with his son at the restaurant in via Gorizia. Unfortunately, resuscitation maneuvers are useless.
Born in Tramonti, a charming village in the valley of the Lattari mountains (Salerno), on November 4, 1948, Di Martino arrived in Friuli in 1970. After a brief experience in Palmanova, he moved to Udine; It is in the capital where, together with his brothers, he first created a place in via Aquileia, then in the area of the train station and, since 1972, in piazzale Cella.
The pizzeria-restaurant ‘Pierino’ soon became very popular among public administrators, professionals, athletes, well-known faces from the entertainment world and especially by many citizens to the point that, as of March 20, 1981, he decided to move to a larger structure, in via Baldasseria Bassa. , turning ‘Pierino’ into one of the city’s ‘cult’ places between the 80s and 90s.
Professional activity continued in the southern part of the city for 33 years, eventually offering employment to dozens of workers. ‘Pierino’, for several generations of Udine, was an immediate reference every time that ‘real’ pizza was talked about, behind which was hidden the domain of a wise preparation and also the history and culture of a dish that constitutes a of the most famous Italian excellences in the world.
Di Martino still deeply loved his job and, after doing an exercise at Viale Volontari della Libertà, he was now helping his son Maurizio, who followed in his father’s footsteps, by opening the In Chiavris restaurant in early March 2019.
