Birth of the stromboli

The stromboli is reported by Peter Romano to have originated in 1950 in Tinicum Township at Romano's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria, by his grandfather Nazzareno Romano.

It is believed to be one of the most popular Italian dishes in the world, along with the ravioli and lasagna. It has been the subject of a number of movies, including "The Godfather" and "The Great Gatsby," as well as a TV series on the same name. It was created by the Italian-American film director Federico Fellini in the 1950s and 1960s, and is now considered one of his most famous works of art. The Strom Boli was created to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the release of the film "Strombolici" in September 2013. The film was based on the Italian film of the same title, which was directed by Mario Puzo and released in 1953. The movie was a box-office success, grossing more than $1.2 billion.
