A pizzeria in Sicily has got racist
comments over the two black pizzaioli it employs, with customers
vowing not to return until the establishment gets rid of them.
"I'm not eating your pizza if it's prepared by blacks," said one
of the comments posted earlier this month to Gianluca Graci,
owner of the "La fuazzeria" pizzeria at Licata, in the province
of Agrigento.
Other comments included "I'm not saying they're dirty but just
seeing them put their hands in the ingredients turns my stomach"
and "you make me feel sick and afraid too".
Graci says he has no intention of parting company with the two
young pizza makers, whom he described as "very talented and very
hard working".
The incident follows another one at the chic Ginger restaurant
at Agrigento where some clients left the eatery after finding
out that their food was being prepared by multi award winning
Senegalese chef Mareme Cissé.
