Legend has it that in 1574, an apprentice named Valerius was in charge of staining the glass for the windows in the magnificent Gothic cathedral, Duomo di Milano. Because his colors were so brilliant, Valerius was teasingly accused of adding saffron to the pigments. This made him angry, so in retaliation, Valerius added excessive amounts of saffron to the rice for his master's wedding banquet. The rice turned out to be delicious and became the wonderful dish we know today.
