Have a serving or two of tiramisu this week, in honor of its co-inventor (probably).

 

Quote

Although the dessert’s origins are often disputed and the family never asserted copyright over the recipe, Campeol and his wife, Alba, the owners of the restaurant Alle Beccherie, are widely considered to be its inventors.

...

Roberto Linguanotto, a chef who worked at Alle Beccherie and is described by many as the dessert’s co-inventor, said tiramisu was the result of an accident.

The BBC gives a more detailed account of the invention of the dish which excludes Mr Campeol and gives full credit to his wife and chef.
