Carpaccio
Name and dish origin
We are in Venice around 1900’s and the founder of the now famous Harry’s Bar, Giuseppe Cipriani, presented the dish Carpaccio di Manzo to the Countess Amalia Nani Mocenigo, forced to eat only raw meat for health reasons. And as the dish was proposed during the exhibition in Venice of the painter Vittore Carpaccio, Cipriani, seeing the color relation between his invention and the paintings of the Venetian painter, decided to give his new work the same name of the artist: Carpaccio.
