It was implemented with the help of regional exhibitions, fairs, festivals, autarchic campaigns and a great deal of folklore. One of the most noteworthy consequences of these initiatives was the reappearance of the south on the gastronomic map of Italy. ”62 This appraisal was accepted, repeated, and imitated. 63 Those who recorded such excursions around Italy were numerous, eager, and curious. Among them Paolo Monelli became the most famous by virtue of his wit and literary style. All these writers traveled from north to south, and no one stopped off at Naples, as Pellegrino Artusi had done; instead, they branched out, toward either Abruzzi and Apulia or the Tyrrhenian coast.
Teofilo Folengo’s Baldus, which describes a banquet celebrated by the king of France to mark the end of a joust (where all the food is Italian—and the author is quite emphatic about this), notes that “the land of Abruzzo had sent its hams. ”46 In writings addressed more specifically to cooks, stewards, and other supervisors, it would be easy, though tedious and pointless, to seek out the denominations of origin they provide with regard to products, recipes, and cooking customs. We will simply note that, while Scappi’s work reveals a complex effort to evaluate and compare various regional traditions with each other (and for this reason we have emphasized the importance of his Opera), other authors seem more tied to a particular culture, to a particular vision and type of culinary practice that, though still interregional, regards a specific area as the main focus of its attention.
Similarly, recipes representing various culinary “dialects” are presented in Scappi’s Opera, one by one. ” Other recipes described as “Lombard” or “Milanese” are a soup of tortelletti with ITALY: A PHYSICAL AND MENTAL SPACE 15 herbs; a soup of turnip greens (to be served, however, “without the broth but covered with agliata sauce, as is done in Lombardy”); fried frogs, also topped with garlic sauce, and “nosella, Milanese style”; offelle (sweet scalloped pastries) made of puff pastry dough; offelle filled with almond paste; torte with herb filling; “stewed, stuffed panciette of veal”; stuffed tortiglioni; stuffed “pasta tubes”; ravioli soup; ravioli with a thin layer of dough; stuffed breast of suckling veal; large stuffed capons; large stuffed geese; “frittered” eggs; large pieces of trout in wine; and nosetti pies.
