MISCELLANEOUS
A manual, not electric, "appliance" to make pizzelles, an Italian favorite, including Cantalupo nel Sannio. Cantalupesi call the pizzelles Congelate. Several recipes are on the recipe page.
The pizzelle iron above was nade by Ferdinando Barbieri celebrating the marriage of his daughter Carminia to Alfonso Crivellone in 1922. The date 1922 is engraved one side and an Eagle on the other.
Many of these irons were hand made in Cantalupo, with different designs. Please send a photo of your pizzelle iron.
Another manual device... Molise pasta machine, lay the flat dough over the wires, a rolling pin does the rest. The wires create nice even pasta.
Badges from Chicago
The Cantalupesi Society in Chicago used one badge with two sides. One side, with an American flag / Italian flag and the image of s. Anna, for festivals, etc. The other side was used at funerals. The were done in beautiful silk - the red one has deteriorated. They are rare items now in custody of Ron Crivellone in Chicago, son of Romolo.

A Remenbered Fable?
There a girl named Lella-lella. she feeds the little animals in the nearby
woods, whenever they are hungry. Lella-lella feeds them Zeppellelle.
Do you have anything interesting and exciting we can place on this page?
Addolorato Barbieri does not remember all the exact words, but does remember
the fable from his youth in Cantalupo nel Sannio.
One day her mother told Lella-lella to bring some zeppellellas to her
grandmother. The shortest way is through the woods. Soon the
mean wolf is behind her, the little animals seeing the wolf ran to help
her. They scream: " corri, corri lella lella che me si data la
zeppellella (run, run Lella-lella, because you have given us zeppellelle).
Hearing the warning she runs and she arrives safely at grandma's house.
