Breakfast of Champions

There are breakfasts, and then there's the breakfast of champions. In Naples, there's no doubt which one wins: 'nu cafè (a coffee) and a still-warm sfogliatella, the kind that dusts your shirt in icing sugar before you've even taken a bite. Forget cereal and protein shakes: here, the energy to face the day is measured in layers of crisp pastry and the scent of ricotta.

The sfogliatella is a small masterpiece of pastry engineering. It's no coincidence the name comes from “sfogliare” (to layer), referring to the many paper-thin layers that make up its crisp shell, and according to Neapolitan tradition it hides a creamy ricotta filling scented with citrus. It's the true fuel of every Neapolitan: eaten standing at the bar counter, between a shouted “buongiorno” and a heated debate about Napoli (the football team).

With this Antica Stamperia Nerd® print, you'll wear all the irony of someone who knows real champions never train on an empty stomach: first the sacred ritual of breakfast, then the rest of the world. A pop, mouth-watering tribute to the city that turned breakfast into a religion.
