What pesto sauce, focaccia bread and blue-jeans have in common?
July 14th 2011 by Silvia
It’s interesting discover that the blue jeans was first wear in Italy and not in America where the denim industry provides today multi-million dollar.
The history of denim goes back to XVI Century when it was found out in Genoa. Even the term blue-jeans, from the french “bleu de Gênes" (blue of Genoa) recalls their italian nationality. What happened was that in the past only Genovese sailors used to wear jeans in their pants,while today all the world have at least a pair of blue jeans in their wardrobe!
As a matter of fact, which is the right answer?
