(ANSA) - Milan, December 28 - Milan will name a street after
seminal superchef Gualtiero Marchesi who died at 87 earlier this
week, Mayor Giuseppe Sala said Thursday.
He said the honour would come in 10 years' time, "to respect
the rules, otherwise it would be an exception".
Marchesi's body lay in State at the Dal Verme theatre
Thursday where his friend Elio of the band Elio e le Storie Tese
was among those who paid their respects.
Marchesi, doyen of Italy's superchefs, died in his home town
Milan Wednesday.
The inventor of the Nuova Cucina Italiana in the 1980s which
featured signature dishes like gold-plated risotto, Marchesi had
a Michelin-starred restaurant in Milan, Il Marchesino.
He will be buried in Milan on Friday.
Among the tributes Wednesday, some called him "the Copernicus
of Cooking".
