The name „I dodici Apostoli“ is not taken from the Bible by the way: In the latter half of the 18th century twelve merchants regularly met at an Italian tavern to do business over a glass of Valpolicella and a simple meal. The residents of Verona jokingly dubbed these gentlemen „the twelve apostles“...
