Italian meets Korean at this CBD pizza joint
Here's a bold statement: South Korea is the world capital of fusion cuisine. Here's a place to debate the assertion: Pizza Monster, an Italian-Korean mash-up that serves pizzas with, say, bulgogi beef, corn, sweet potato mousse and almond flakes on a black rice dough base, and carbonara with oyster sauce and spring onion. Crazy? No. Crazy-good. Pizza Monster is small, cute and chic, perfect for a pizza date with a difference. Try the Shark Attack cocktail for some pour-your-own theatre.

Italian teenager Carlo Acutis set to become the first millennial saint
The canonisation of Carlo Acutis, the Catholic Church's first millennial saint, will take place on September 7, Pope Leo XIV has announced. Acutis, an Italian teenager who died from leukaemia in 2006, will be declared a saint by Leo at a ceremony in St Peter's Square expected to be attended by thousands of young people. Acutis was just 15 when he died, but during his short life he used his computing skills to spread awareness of the Catholic faith by setting up a website that documented reports of miracles. The Vatican said on Friday that following a meeting with cardinals, Pope Leo will canonise Acutis in September, along with another youthful saint, Pier Giorgio Frassatti, who died in 1925 at age 24. Acutis' canonisation had been scheduled for April 27 but was postponed after the death of Pope Francis. The September 7 ceremony will be the first canonisation presided over by Pope Leo, the first American pontiff. Acutis, nicknamed God's influencer, has developed a strong following among young Catholics and beyond. The British-born Italian teenager, who loved video-gaming, is often depicted wearing jeans and trainers, making him a relatable figure to a new generation of Catholics. His canonisation also comes as recent surveys in the United Kingdom and United States show a rise in interest in Catholicism among Generation Z. The church's sainthood process normally requires that candidates have two miracles attributed to them, with each reported supernatural occurrence requiring in-depth examination. In May, a second miracle attributed to Acutis was recognised by Pope Francis, a decision that paved the way for the teen to be declared a saint. Acutis was beatified (declared 'blessed') in 2020 after his first miracle, when he reportedly healed a Brazilian boy with a birth defect that left him unable to eat normally. The boy was reportedly healed after his mother said she prayed to Acutis to intercede and help heal her son. The second miracle attributed to Acutis relates to the reported healing of a girl from Costa Rica who had suffered a head trauma after falling from her bicycle in Florence, Italy, where she was studying. Her mother said she prayed for her daughter's recovery at the tomb of Acutis in Assisi. Acutis' mother, Antonia Salzano, previously said that her son spent time helping the homeless in Milan and giving his pocket money to those sleeping on the street.

Martin Scorsese recalls the moment he 'had a calling to make movies'
Martin Scorsese was just five years old when he "had a calling to make movies" . The 82-year-old Hollywood director has revealed he decided on his future career as a young child when he watched Italian war drama Paisan with his family and heard the Sicilian dialect spoken by relatives in New York onscreen for the first time. Speaking at the Taormina Film Festival in Sicily - where he accepted a lifetime achievement award on Thursday (12.06.25) - the director told the audience: "It was there in that room, that night, that I had a calling to make movies, and to touch people in the same way that this film touched us that night. "So it is Sicily that helped draw me to cinema and cinema drew me to Sicily." He added of his American upbringing: "With the exception of Native Americans, we're all either immigrants, children of immigrants or descendants of immigrants. "The country is very young. It's 250 years old, which is nothing in terms of world history. We're learning. We're just crawling. We haven't begun yet to walk or talk." During his speech, Scorsese also paid tribute to Hollywood movie legend Frank Capra -a fellow director with Sicilian roots. The moviemaker ended his speech by saying: "I wonder, where I would be without Italian cinema. "The debt I owe to Italian cinema and the people that made it and are continuing to make it, is really incalculable. I'll never stop talking about it, to the entire world, wherever I go and I thank you for this wonderful honor to be here tonight. "Thank you for bringing me back home." In an interview with Variety, Scorsese went on to explain his strong connection to his Italian homeland, saying: "Growing up, my first formative years, even before my early teenage [years], I was really living in a Sicilian village. It just happened to be downtown in Manhattan. "What I mean by that is the thinking, the behaviour, the language. All of this was very, very much part of who I am. "Then we became American, kind of. In a way I think that for me that [Sicilian link] combined with the religious experiences, it has propted a curiosity and a search as to my own identity. As to who I am."
