The recipe for Crescia sfogliata di Urbino dates back to 1400, the era of the Montefeltro dukes. It is a golden disc-shaped pizza with a few millimeters of thickness. It is called "sfogliata" because it is composed of leaves obtained by inserting a thin layer of lard between the two pasta during processing.

"I have not seen Urbino for more than thirty years, and I always see it! It did not get out of my mind, not even the Baciocca where we made ourselves grow!" Giovanni Pascoli
