Bartolomeo Scappi was a famous Renaissance chef. His origins had been the subject of speculation, but a recent research shows that he came from the town of Dumenza in Lombardy, according to the inscription on a stone plaque in the church of Luino. Bartolomeo cooked for several cardinals and popes and was an innovative cook, showing a great deal of creativity incorporating the New World vegetables in his cooking.
