The Comical Pulcinella

Roam the noisy and narrow streets of beautiful Napoli on any day, and over a popular cafe hangs the comical Pulcinella's image; many tourists aren't familiar with this guy dressed in white! Why does he say," The best Baba al Rum is made here! " The bartender puts on a huge smile when customers walk in. Controversially, the infuriated French would claim, " We invented it! " Then Pulcinella would reply with a delirious laughter, " It was pretty good then, but not as tasty as it is today! " *Baba al Rum is a Neapolitan dessert
