Naples pizza twirling seeks nod as Unesco ‘intangible’

PARIS: Naples’ art of pizza twirling is a candidate to join Unesco’s list of “intangible heritage” next week along with a wealth of other cultural treasures such as Saudi Arabian wall painting and Bangladeshi cane weaving.

Meeting on the South Korean island of Jeju, the UN cultural body’s World Heritage Committee will also consider whether to give special support for heritage that is struggling to survive.
