The chef created sandwiches based on skyscrapers

Milan - The skyscrapers in the Italian city of Milan have become an unconventional inspiration for one of the most famous Italian chefs. He has created a trio of gourmet sandwiches based on them. This was reported by the ANSA agency.
    Three modern skyscrapers began to be constructed in the northern Italian city in 2007. The project, developed by world-renowned architects, was met with derision from preservationists, who argue that the steel-and-glass structures disrupt the character of the surrounding buildings. Chef Gualtiero Marchesi, however, claims they deserve to be honored with sandwiches.
    "I have them right here," Marchesi said. The ingredients, which the seventy-nine-year-old master of Italian cuisine refused to disclose, are reportedly something that people will immediately recognize as the source of inspiration.
    Marchesi is the first Italian to receive three stars, the highest accolade, in the prestigious French culinary guide Michelin in 1985. He is regarded by many as a pioneer of modern Italian cuisine.
    The news of the sandwiches has excited Italian culinary traditionalists, who believe it could be a worthy response to the new McItaly hamburger from the global fast-food chain McDonald's.
    The CityLife project was developed by well-known architects including Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid and architect Daniel Libeskind, who is also responsible for the redevelopment of Ground Zero, where before the terrorist attacks in September 2001 the skyscrapers of the New York World Trade Center (WTC) stood.
