Il vero Alfredo

As these pages print it.

The moustache called Umberto

The history page has one sentence for the smile and one sentence for the title that replaced King. The smile opened beneath his mustache Umberto. The page spells mustache without the o that British spelling uses. Umberto is in quotation marks. The page says that mustache later became the symbol of Alfredo.

The next sentence says this character will have the merit to be known not as the King, but as the Emperor of Fettuccine. King and Emperor are both capitalised. The dedication quoted earlier on the same page still says King of the noodles.

The smile under the mustache

With experience gained over time alongside his father and his undoubted charismatic personality, he always welcomes guests with a beautiful smile that opened beneath his mustache Umberto, the same who later become the symbol of Alfredo.

welcomes is present. opened is past. become is the form used, not became. undoubted charismatic personality is the phrase. The page does not describe the colour or the width of the mustache. It gives it the name Umberto, in quotes, and says the same mustache later become the symbol.

the same who agrees with mustache as the thing that became the symbol, in the grammar the page chose. The symbol is of Alfredo, not of Armando, though the previous sentence is the one that named Armando. The dynasty note keeps Armando as Alfredo II in Via della Scrofa. This note does not rename the mustache as Armando's in words the page does not use. It quotes the symbol of Alfredo.

No portrait caption says Umberto. The captions are Alfredo I, Alfredo II, and Alfredo III. The alts are Alfredo I, Alfredo secondo, and Alfredo terzo. The mustache name is only in the paragraph.

Not the King, but the Emperor

Over time, this character will have the merit to be known not as the King, but as the Emperor of Fettuccine. will have the merit is the verb. not as the King, but as the Emperor is the contrast. Fettuccine is capitalised. Emperor is capitalised. King is capitalised.

The dedication, earlier, is To Alfredo the King of the noodles. noodles is lower case there. King is capitalised there too. The page does not say the engraving was altered when the title became Emperor. It says the character came to be known differently. The fork note quotes the dedication and leaves it as King of the noodles.

The splash title uses imperatore delle fettuccine, with imperatore in lower case after the hyphen, in the line IL VERO ALFREDO ALL'AUGUSTEO - imperatore delle fettuccine! The history page title uses l'Imperatore, with a capital I after the apostrophe. The body uses the Emperor of Fettuccine. Three imperial phrases, three patterns of capitals.

The English frameset title says EMPEROR OF FETTUCCINE, in capitals, under the misspelled AUUSTEO. It does not mention King or Umberto. The splash alt of the portrait is Alfredo, l'imperatore delle fettuccine, which matches the splash title's noun more than it matches the dedication's King.

Maestosissime, and the people who read the fork

Before the mustache sentence, the history page says the dedication is read by every famous person who had the honor to try the Maestosissime Fettuccine. honor has no u. Maestosissime is capitalised, and so is Fettuccine. The page does not translate Maestosissime.

every famous person is not a list. No second guest is named. The only famous persons named in the passage are Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford. The navigation word Celebrities is text, not a page in the archive. The note does not fill in other names.

The mustache sentence comes after that fame, and after Armando is established in Via della Scrofa. It does not say the mustache was already the symbol in 1908. 1908 is Ines and the first dish. The 1908 note has St. Anna and don’y, not Umberto.

The splash does not use the word mustache or moustache. Its portrait is captioned Alfredo III° and alt-tagged with imperatore. Whether that photograph shows the mustache called Umberto is not something the alt says. The alt does not describe facial hair.

The symbol, and what it is of

the symbol of Alfredo is the whole claim. The page does not say the symbol of the restaurant, and it does not say the symbol of the Emperor, in that sentence. The Emperor sentence is the next one. The symbol sentence ends at Alfredo.

later become puts the symbol after the smile, in the page's order. The page does not say in which year the mustache became the symbol. It says later. The dated years elsewhere are 1908 and 1950. Neither is printed in the mustache sentence.

beautiful smile that opened beneath is the physical description. There is no mention of a hat, a bow tie, or a jacket in this sentence. The portraits are not given clothing captions. The note does not add any.

charismatic is the page's adjective, with undoubted in front of it. The English article page says the creative man, not the charismatic one. The splash says Alfredo Himself. Three epithets, three pages. The only-place note shows where Himself and Magic Hands are printed, which is not this paragraph.

King on the metal, Emperor in the later line

A single caption that said King and Emperor at once would blur the page's over time. The metal says King of the noodles. The later sentence says not as the King, but as the Emperor of Fettuccine. The splash, which does not quote the metal, already says imperatore in the title and in the portrait alt.

The history page holds both, in that order: the dedication first, the mustache and the Emperor sentence later. The note follows that order and does not update the dedication to Emperor.

Fettuccine in the Emperor phrase and noodles in the dedication are two English words for the dish on the same page. The Italian title uses fettuccine. The nickname blondes is earlier still, in the 1908 passage. The mustache sentence uses none of those dish words. It ends at the symbol of Alfredo.

Umberto stays in quotation marks in the note because it is in quotation marks on the page. It is not written as a surname. No line says Alfredo Umberto or Armando Umberto.
