What are Corzetti and Why Are They So Special?
Corzetti (sometimes called croxetti or curzetti) are round pasta discs stamped with ornate designs, which both serve as decorative patterns and help the sauce coat the pasta. They’re typical of Liguria region and originated in the XIII century, probably inspired by a medieval coin called a corzetto. The wood carver we will visit has been making wooden corzetti stamps since the early 1900’s, when wealthy Genoese families often travelled to Florence to commission works from Florentine master wood carvers.
