THE PICI

Pici are a typical fresh Tuscan pasta, similar to spaghetti but thicker. Simply prepared with flour, water, oil (in some variations) and salt, they represent the “poor” dish, typical of rural life. What enriches this pasta are sauces, to which it fits perfectly.

The origin of the pici seems to be Etruscan. A first testimony can be found in the Tomb of the Leopards of Tarquinia, in which a paste resembling pici appears.

The area therefore seems to be on the border between Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio and in these three regions in fact the same preparation takes different names such as the "lombrichelli Viterbesi"; the "pisciarelli", the "torcolacci", the "filarelli", the "lilleri laziali"; the “ceriole”, the Umbrian “stringoli” and the Perugian “stringozzi”.

As for the name, there are various theories. There are those who trace it back to the figure of Marco Gavio Apicius (25 BC 37 AD), one of the most important gastronomes of the Roman era, some instead claim it derives from the locality of San Felice in Picis, a town in the area of ​​Castelnuovo, of the diocese of Arezzo. Still others believe that their name derives from the white fir reserve of Piancastagnaio in the province of Siena which has a long, narrow and white shape (like that of the Pici) and is called Pigelleto. But perhaps the truth lies in the gesture that is made with the palm of the hand to make the dough take the shape of the picio, which in the Tuscan culinary jargon is the verb "appiciare".
