In a historical period in which social media play a central role in everyday life, two characters emerge who represent two sides of the Neapolitan coin: Rita De Crescenzo, queen of TikTok and Errico Porzio, famous pizza chef.
The first one ends in the crosshairs of criticism for an onerous proposal, while the second launches a more democratic and at the same time initiative benefit. Let's find out the details.
The Rita De Crescenzo boxing scandal
Recently, Rita De Crescenzo, loved and followed by a large Neapolitan public, has become the subject of a heated debate on social media.
Everything comes from one follower, Antonella Formicola, which she made public a breakfast proposal at the exaggerated cost of 300 euros. The situation becomes even more delicate since the service was intended for a person in precarious health conditions.
I wanted to cheer my sister up because she started doing some chemo, radio and they devastated it. Her morale is low, she doesn't see herself as beautiful, she doesn't recognize herself. I thought about sending someone to her house to cheer her up, I got better Instagram and I took Rita's manager's number. I specified there was no event and said it is for a person who is fighting with cancer. This person asked for 300 euros, it makes me laugh, he wouldn't even have asked for it Nino D'Angelo. I also feel like crying from the exaggeration. I didn't ask her to sing a song or record it, my sister doesn't want to be seen in public. Just pick up a box and bring it to him

What's in Rita's box?
For those wondering what could possibly justify such a high price, the package offered includes various elements: one personalized box, gourmet breakfast, and a variety of gadgets ranging from versions of Barbie and Ken to various items from “Svergognata Shop” shop by Rita.
Why does it cost so much? The influencer's response
Defending her position, Rita De Crescenzo offered explanations. She underlined that the box has an intrinsic cost of 25 € and added that the price may vary depending on the delivery area.
She also said she would have been willing to offer the service for free if she had been informed about the context.
Porzio's response: box for 30 euros and I'll come home to make you pizza
Entering the scene with a decidedly more accessible proposal, Errico Porzio has launched a 30 euro box. The kit contains everything you need to prepare homemade pizzas. Not only that, Porzio offers to personally make the delivery and prepare the pizzas for the buyer.
Who will benefit?
Porzio's initiative also has a charitable component. The proceeds will be entirely donated to Street Angels Villanova, a non-profit association that helps the homeless in Naples. A gesture that highlights not only his altruistic spirit, but also a continuous commitment to causes of social importance.
Rita De Crescenzo responds to Porzio “You have to know how to make breakfast”
But the TikToker doesn't fit, replies to Porzio within a few hours by pointing out that pizza for breakfast can "stay on the stomach", probably resentful for the attack by the famous pizza chef.
Obviously Porzio was talking about lunch and dinner, the influencer's response It is therefore somewhat perplexing.
One wonders: do we really want that Napoli is represented by so-called influencers like Rita De Crescenzo?
