PASTA: DEFINITION

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pasta productsâ&#x20AC;? are understood to be the end product of a series of technical operations (on a domestic, artisanal or industrial scale) applied to a mixture of soft wheat flour or durum wheat semolina with water or other substances, more or less liquid, making it possible to obtain a kneaded dough that is subsequently cut into small regular shapes, which are then cooked in a moist environment. This series of technical operations includes mixing of ingredient, kneading the resulting dough, cutting it into pieces, shaping them, drying them, and storing them. The pasta shapes are then boiled, poached, or steamed.

1. INTRODUCTION

When I think of simple objects, I think about all those little things that we use and consume in everyday life; the ones that are essential and that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really care about until they disappear. I am talking about pencils, cups, forks, keys, glassesâ&#x20AC;Ś and about pasta. Pasta is about simplicity, versatility and creativity. Pasta is natural and neutral, and these characteristics make it an unexpected resource and an ideal platform for individual creativity, all around the world. When it comes to cook a good pasta, everyone can be inventive, because there are no restrictions on the combinations of recipes and sauces, texture and flavors. Pasta is also a good example of great collaborative design, because its different shapes are designed by generations and passed down through the centuries. Most important, in Italy eating pasta is not just a necessity, but a moment to share and enjoy.

2. EXPERIENCE

The other day I cooked some pasta with tomatoes and mozzarella and brought it to the studio for my team mates. Someone tasted it and asked “Why does it taste different?”, someone else said “Because it’s made with real Italian love.” It is true, but I always ask the same question when I eat at my grandma’s place. Her pasta tastes much better then mine, even if I’m following her exact recipe and suggestions. “Experience”, she says, “Years and years of practice, my dear”. Experience is the key, but I can reveal a few Italian secrets to make a good pasta. Italian people would call them “segreti di Pulcinella” (“Pulcinella’s secrets”), an expression which stands for a secret that in fact is not a secret, because everybody knows about it. So, to make a good pasta, you just need to follow some very simple rules. First, put a pot with unsalted water on the stove and wait until it boils (until you can see bubbles), then add a fist of coarse sea salt (don’t worry, it’s not too much), stir and add the right amount of pasta that you need, around 100g for person, more if you are really hungry, less if you are on diet. Read the time on the box and set an alarm, or (and here comes the experience) pay attention on how the color changes and taste it, until it’s right “al dente”. While the pasta is cooking, you should prepare the sauce, and if you plan it right, both will be ready at the same time. Turn off the stove, take the pot and pour the pasta in a colander into 10

the sink. Immediately after that, pour the pasta into the sauce pan, stir and pan-fry, just a few seconds.If the sauce pan is not big enough, you can use a different container, but the most important rule is to immediately mix pasta and sauce. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait until the pasta gets sticky and the sauce cold! Of course good ingredients are what makes the difference. Choose Italian pasta, olive oil for cooking and extra virgin olive oil to add flavor at the end. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basically it. Easy?! Next step is to invite a few Italian friends to dinner; they will not be afraid to be your judges!

Pulcinella Identifiable by his flowing, white pantaloons and shirt, black mask, and beak-like nose, Pulcinella is a classical character that originated in the commedia dellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;arte of the 17th century and became a stock character in Neapolitan puppetry. Pulcinella often carries around maccheroni and a wooden spoon. His permanent state of mind, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hunger; his constant dream, never quite satisfied, is eating maccheroni. His traditional temperament is to be mean, vicious, and crafty and his main mode of defense is to pretend to be too stupid to know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on.

3. ORIGINS

Left: Map of Europe,

ca. 1570

The origin of pasta is mysterious and unclear. The gap in ancient historical documentation regarding cereal-based preparations in Europe fostered speculation, but also encouraged research and the development of serious hypotheses by different historians. When I started my research, someone asked me “Is it true that pasta was invented in China and introduced in Italy by Marco Polo?”, I didn’t know anything about it, so I was curious to read more. Food historians agree that the answer is no, or better, not exactly. Pasta has evolved in parallel both in the Mediterranean area and in Asia, but it was in the Mediterranean, and particularly in Italy, that it became what is known today. Marco Polo indeed tried the Chinese noodle and used the words “macaroni or other sorts of pasta” to describe it in his travel memoirs “Il Milione” (1295), but the fact that he brought it back to Italy is a myth, spread by the Marco Polo (1254-1324) was an Italian merchant from Venice, probably the most famous Westerner traveled on the Silk Road. He excelled all the other travelers in his determination, his writing, and his influence. His journey through Asia lasted 24 years. He reached further than any of his predecessors, beyond Mongolia to China. He became a confidant of Kublai Khan (1214-1294). He traveled the whole of China and returned to tell the tale, which became the greatest travelogue. His experiences are recorded in the book Il Milione (Livres des merveilles du monde), a book which did much to introduce Europeans to Central Asia and China. 15

Americans all around the world. Although China may have been the first population to develop a cuisine based on gluten, documented traces prove that dried pasta, made with durum wheat, existed in Sicily since A.D. 800. But letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take a step back. To trace the history of pasta we have to go backward until the end of nomadism, when man began to abandon his hunter-gatherer lifestyle, settled down and learned how to cultivate plants, yield fruits and, later, process raw materials in order to change their look and taste. The encounter with cereals and wheat made possible to create new kinds of food and to play with imagination. Without wheat there would have been no pasta, neither bread nor any type of cake and pastries. Grinding kernels of wheat, man learned to produce flour, that, when mixed with the right quantity of water, creates a malleable dough, the first material from which humans started to make artificial food. The malleability is exactly what fascinated the Chinese, as they had long been familiar with the similar properties of clay. They became masters in the preparation of products with a specific shape, like fresh pasta, breads and flatbreads. Around 1000 BC, the Greeks learned how to work the dough in order to obtain a wide, thin sheet of pasta, then sliced in stripes, which they defined as lĂ ganon, subsequently translated into Latin (laganum) and then 16

evolved into the Italian name lasagna. They were mixing ground wheat with water and oil and cooking it over burning stone, in a procedure that is probably more similar to the Italian way of making focaccia or pizza. The Roman version of it was a very fine sheet of dough made of wheat flour and the juice of crushed lettuce, flavoured with spices and deep-fried in oil. A later recipe describes a dish called lagana, which consisted in layers of dough sheets alternating with meat and baked in oven, without being boiled in water first. The Arabs descendants of the ancient Egyptians, who grew wheat along the banks of Nile, created various types of pasta, dried under the desert sun; a food that would remain edible for a long time and easy to transport and prepare, as they were moving from one place to another with their caravans. It is apparently thanks to them and their trades in the Mediterranean basin, that pasta Semolina / flour came to be produced and consumed in Sicily and, There are various types of by the 12th century, began to spread to the Italian grain, including wheat that southern regions. This being said, it looks like the can be soft and hard. only pasta introduced by the Arabs was a stringAmong these, the distinction between semolina flour and is shaped pasta, made of durum wheat semolina and given by the type of grinding not flour. which varies from larger (semolina, durum) to finer (0 flour, flour 00), therefore, according to various sizes of the granules different densities are obtained, with consequent different uses.

According to a few historians, Jewish communities established in the peninsula also played an important role in supporting and encouraging the production of pasta. 17

As we can see, the history of pasta is multiform and there is no single path of development. In different environments, each civilization developed its own culture of pasta, according to quite distinct concepts. China, for example, since it never had durum wheat, remained a civilisation of fresh pasta, made by artisanal methods. Italy, over the course of time perfected its mastery and understanding of wheat, developing at the same time a highly diversified production of fresh pasta and dry pasta based on durum wheat, culminating in a highly specialized industry.

4. PASTA IN ITALY

It doesn’t take an expert to say that pasta and pizza are the Italian most famous and popular food. They are loved by people all around the world and those words have entered everybody’s daily vocabulary. Curiosly, Italian written sources don’t mention pasta until the Middle Ages, probably because it was overshadowed by the sacrality of bread, but once it has been recognized as a distinct category, its growth knew no limits. As I mentioned, dry pasta was traded internationally in the Mediterranean from the twelfth century, while fresh pasta - simple and stuffed - evolved as a culinary art on the dining tables of nobles, king and high prelates, as it was made by hand by their personal cooks. In that context, pasta used to be overcooked until soft and melting, and it was always accompanied by cheese. At the same time, the production of dry pasta made of A. In the Ligurian local durum wheat developed in certain regions; in Genova dialect, the world ‘fidei’, and around the coast of Liguria, as well as throughout probably from spanish derivation, is used to southern Italy, mainly in Napoli’s area. In 1574 the first mean pasta. corporation of pasta producers was born in Liguria (Associazione dei Mastri Fidelari)A, followed by Napoli (Statuto dell’Arte dei Vermicellari) and Palermo. Although pasta landed there much later then in other regions, Napoli and the surrounding areas soon became masters of the production, thank you to the perfect atmospheric conditions for the manufacture. In the fifteenth century pasta was considered a luxury 20

According to statistics, Italians eat about 28 kg of pasta per year, about 4 times the average of French and Germans. 28 kg divided by 365 days a year means 76 grams per day, the minimum amount of a plate of spaghetti. So it is true: the Italians eat pasta every day, at least once a day.

food, expecially in times of crisis. From the sixteenth century the production increased and flourished along the Amalfi Coast, where the mills where located thanks to the availability of water courses. By the eighteenth century pasta became much more than a basic food, it became a symbol of the city. Maccheroni became “street food”, cooked and sold in kiosks on the street corners with no garnish, or with pepper and grated cheese. People were eating them in the street with their hands, rolling them up on their fingers, with a gesture that Italians still mimic today when they say “Ci facciamo du’ spaghi?” (“Let’s go eat some spaghetti together!”) Neapolitans, nicknamed maccheroni eaters, spread their love for pasta all around the Italian peninsula and encouraged their compatriots to cook it in their way, just for a short time. Pasta al dente was born and the custom was shortly adopted by the whole population, without class distinctions. 21

5. MAKING PASTA

Gnocchi Traditional dish of the Italian cuisine, especially from Rome, Veneto and Piedmont, consisting of a mixture of flour and potatoes (already boiled and mashed), cut into bite-sized pieces of cylindrical or ovoid (in this case, are mostly obtained by rolling them with two fingers on the surface of a grater), which are eaten as a main dish, boiled and served with sauce or butter.

My family doesn’t have a long tradition of making fresh pasta at home. When I was little my mom used to make gnocchi sometimes. Me and my sister were helping her, and the funniest part was to roll the gnocchi on the riga gnocchi, a small grooved wood board, to make them rigati (striped), in order for the sauce to hold better on them. Making gnocchi is faster then making pasta, because the dough is easier to knead and it doesn’t need to be rolled until it become very thin; long rolls are formed by hand and then cut in small pieces (more or less 1 inch long). By the time my other three siblings were born, my mother no longer had time to make fresh gnocchi anymore and I never took the initiative. When I chose to do a research about pasta, I decided to start by making pasta from scratch for the first time in my life. I didn’t use any instrument or device, just my hands and a rolling pin, exactly as women used to do a long time ago (and still now in some of the Italian regions, Emilia Romagna expecially). My grandma gave me the recipe, I bought the ingredients and I devoted my day to that antique and fascinating art. As I imagined, kneading the dough and rolling in out with the rolling pin (mattarello) in order to obtain a very thing sheet (0.5 mm) is a work that takes a lot of strength and energy, especially if you are not used to it. I really enjoyed making it, but I wonder how could family mother’s doing it everyday for their big families!

PASTA ALL’UOVO (FRESH EGG PASTA), RECIPE

Every 100 grams of flour it takes an egg to make a good dough. If you want a lighter pasta you can decrease the number of eggs and replace them with 2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons of milk for each egg replaced.

1. pour the flour on a wooden or marble surface, creating a “fountain” (that is, to form a kind of volcano shape with a crater in the middle) 2. lightly beat the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pour them the middle of the fountain 3. gradually incorporate the eggs into the flour, working with strength, to obtain a homogeneous mixture. If it’s too soft add a little flour; if it’s too hard add a few tablespoons of water. All with a lot of thrift 4. form a ball , carve it with a cross, sprinkle with a little flour , cover with a towel and let it rest for 30 minutes 5. at this point the dough is ready, roll it first with your hands and then with a rolling pin from the center until it is very thin (about 0.5 - 1 mm) 6. cut the sheet of pasta in equal stripes to make tagliatelle, or get creative with the shape!

6. HISTORY OF PRODUCTION

The production of pasta is made up of four stages: the mixing of ingredients, the kneading of the dough, the formation of different types of pasta and the drying process. Over time, the manufacture has seen a progressive transformation. According to the technologies gradually available, it became increasingly industrialized, until reaching what is now a huge international production.

pasta production in the Middle Ages

HOMEMADE PASTA Originally pasta was made by hand, by the women in each family. The kneading was done just using using arm strength and a rolling pin, in the same way I made it. The dough was placed on a wooden flat surface and rolled until it was soft and thin, in a process that requires experience, muscles and energy. At the time, pasta was not an everyday meal; it was only eaten on Sundays or in special occasions, mostly related to religious feasts. From family kitchens, homemade pasta moved quickly into the workshops of the mills. The women that used to make pasta in their own kitchen gathered together to work and create shapes, at first always by hand, then with the help of early machines. 1500 . THE MILLS A myriad of family owned mills (called cirnoli) were located on the hills around Napoliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay - especially near Torre 29

Maccaronari and lazzaroni Numerous travelers who visited Napoli wrote about the countless booths of maccaronari, who were selling, for a very modest sum of money, a steaming plate of maccheroni, sprinkled with cheese. From Goethe to Alexandre Dumas, poets, writers and travellers wrote about the way the lazzaroni were eating vermicelli, by â&#x20AC;&#x153;twisting them around their fingers with a dexterity that foreigners rarely if ever succeed in imitatingâ&#x20AC;? 30

Annunziata and Gragnano. They were powered by the water of the river Sarno, or by donkeys, horses and men. Making pasta was still a highly specialized labor, slow, difficult and exhausting. The dough was kneaded by feet, while gripping a hanging cord, for around 3 hours. The various shapes were then made by hand with the rolling pin. When ready, pasta was packed into large baskets and carried by mule down to Napoli.

LATE 1500 . FIRST INGEGNI The production increased with the appearance of the first simple machined, called ingegni [â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ngegno da mccaruni]. They consisted of a wooden cilinder, lined with copper on the inside and held fast by bolts. A piston pushed the hard dough through the die and the first maccherone emerged, with a perfectly centered hole. The combination of the manual brake and the extrusion press revolutionized the history of pasta, not only making the work faster and easier, but also increasing the quality. Thanks to the new techniques, the first distinction was also made between maccheroni, which were bucati (pierced) and vermicelli, the actual spaghetti. During that time, the price of pasta dropped, making pasta available to even the poorest citizens. In Napoli, maccheroni dressed with cheese became the daily meal of the lazzari, who were eating them with their fingers on the streets, becoming a real attraction for tourists. 31

THE PROCESS OF DRYING As the pasta came out from the machines, it was hung on long sticks and taken into the sun or warm open air, to begin the drying stage, the most delicate of the process. It was almost a ritual and it could be only done in the most favorable natural conditions. The need of intermittent breezes made costal areas like Napoli and surroundings particularly suited for it. The “Chief Pasta Makers” were considered magicians. They were observing the sky and the stars and examining the phases of the moon; they had a big knowledge on winds and how they change according to the time of the day or the season. They knew how pasta needed to dry, first exposed to humid air and then to dry air in the following days. There is a saying: “Make the maccheroni with the scirocco (warm, moist wind from the south), dry them with tramontana (cold, dry wind from the Alps)!” Very peculiar was the figure of the chiammatore (caller), who was screaming to awake the workers when they needed to move the drying racks. The Neapolitan “classic natural drying” strategy was kept secret and refined over the course of time, in parallel with the development of manufacturing. It involved three basic phases: the incartamento (stiffening), a preliminary drying achieved by exposing pasta to direct sunlight; the rinvenimento (recovering), which used to take place in a cool 32

Annunziata and Gragnano became huge open-air drying racks, for the first phase of the drying process, incartamento. 8. In the stenditoi (softening

room), the sticks were positioned next to one another the long pasta was hung on racks as close to the floor as possible, positioned so that the tips were touching the pasta just beneath them, in order to allow the humidity to diffuse progressively and maintain the freshness.

and well-ventilated room (15째C less then the incartamento phase), normally underground, in order to soften the crust; the essiccazione definitiva (final drying), very slow and progressive, happening in special two-story buildings called stenditoi, with temperature variations. The end of the process was established by the pastaio, who was able to judge by simply listening to the sound of a maccherone broken near his ear. 1800 . MODERN MACHINES Further advancement led to faster and more numerous machines and improved the quality of production. The pastaio was still needed to dose out the water, in a secret quantity. The dough needed to be harder for the largest sizes and softer for fettuccine, vermicelli, cappellini and spaghetti. With the invention of new dies, the creation of shapes multiplied (from 150 to 800 or more). 1900 . MASS PRODUCTION During the industrial era, the production of pasta was revolutionized. Engineers developed a generation of machines able to reproduce, multiplying the power for ten, the precise actions of the laborers, therefore excluded from

various operations in the production cycle. In 1937, the first prototype of a series of machines able to carry out in a synchronized manner all the operations of the production was presented at the Milano fair. The development of efficient systems for artificial drying allowed the final victory of industrial pasta making. Thanks to a generation of entrepreneurs, the production developed in a scale never seen before. 1940 . OUR DAILY DISH The spread of pasta on Italian tables is relatively modern. Until right before World War II, the generic diet was based on plants and pasta was normally reserved for feast days, often served in a legume soup. With the economic boom, pasta began to be cooked daily in everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homes. Bourgeoisie, expecially, were eating pasta every day, on Sunday with meat or special condiments.

7. PASTA IN THE USA AND AROUND THE WORLD

As Neapolitans became better and better in the production of pasta, their ability started to be know and recognized around the world. In the late eighteenth century, the reputation of the screw-press pasta extruder (ingegni) reached the United States. Italian immigrant communities, arrived in the USA en masse beginning in the last decades of the nineteenth century, had a big role spreading the love for pasta, but the American production appears to be initiated a little earlier, with an artisanal activity. Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), third American president, seems to be the first person to import a pasta-making machine in the United States, in 1789. He probably learned about pasta production during his time as an ambassador in Paris (1785-1789), and asked a friend in Napoli to purchase a maccheroni press machine in his behalf. The friend wrote him a letter, explaining that the machines normally used there were enormous, so he bought a smaller version for home use, a portable-press. Jefferson, who was planning to start a big production, was certainly disappointed, but probably the production in the USA actually did start using this sort of small machines. By the first half of the nineteenth century, though, it was already growing very fast. At the beginning pasta was still considered an exotic food, but soon - in the second half of the century - it became 38

an everyday consumer product. After its domestic market, American pasta started to conquer the international market and, in the early 20th century, the amount of pasta exported was already bigger than the one imported, making the country the second biggest pasta producer and exporter. The trade with Italy continued to dominate the world market and in the USA pasta manufactures insisted on making the connection clear, by imitating the packaging design and using Italian names and colors. With the development of pasta industry, American producers extended their lines of product, including special kinds of pasta, like pasta without gluten, whole grain, veggie, multigrainâ&#x20AC;Ś They also started to produce precooked pasta, packed and ready to eat, in my opinion completely changing the experience of eating it.

8. SHAPES OF PASTA

The various shape of pasta are the result of the techniques of production employed. All pasta shapes are essentially the product of one or two techniques. A sheet of dough can be considered as a transitional product of a preliminary process, that can be cut and used to create many other pasta shapes. In the 15th century lasagne began to appear as a pasta product it the way that we understand it nowadays, and boiled in water. At the same time it was discovered that, by rolling one or more sheets of pasta over on themselves and cutting them, regular strips were obtained, named as maccheroni (macharoni alla genovese) or tagliarini. The same term maccheroni was also used to describe a completely different type of pasta, shaped or extruded into little rolls (macharoni alla siciliana). Thanks to the creativity of generations of pasta makers and, as we saw, the evolution of the production technologies, an endless variety of pasta shapes has been created. Despite being the Italian food for excellence, the variety of shapes accentuate Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regional differences and define local identities. Pasta can be short or long, handmade or factory made, stuffed or not, served in broth or dry with sauce (called pastasciutta, what normally Italians prefer), in a combination of practically infinite variety of aromas and flavors. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible to find another foodstuff with the same adaptability to combinations and associations of flavors. 41

This is why it’s not easy to explain to a foreigner how do we choose to combine shapes and sauces and how do we obtain the perfect match. I guess it comes natural, mostly from what we used to eat in family and what our grandma taught us. Let’s take the example of spaghetti (also known as fide, fidelini, capelli d’angelo, capellini, fedelini, fidelini, vermicelli, exc.), the most famous and popular food on Italian tables. The writer Giuseppe Prezzolini once said: “spaghetti have the same right or more to belong to Italian civilisation then Dante has.” Different school of thoughts exist on how to cook spaghetti in the right way. In some regions, they are cooked longer, in the south, they are eaten al dente and somewhere barely beyond raw. The sauce depends on what region or village or even family we are visiting.

14. Spaghetti n°5, Barilla’s bestseller 42

Of course not all sauces are adapted equally well to all kinds of pasta. For exemple, spaghetti or long types of pasta need a more liquid and bland sauce, while maccheroni (or other short pasta) go well with concentrated thicker sauces, prepared with fresh vegetables or meat, because they are able to carry it inside. Striped types of pasta (paste rigate) are able to absorb sauce better, while smooth pasta needs a fullbodied sauce that binds on it, or it will remain on the bottom of the pot.

The memorable wedding between pasta and tomatoes occurred in Napoli during the late nineteenth century, after centuries of culinary traditions. The plant had been imported into Spain from America, by the conquerors of the New World, from â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;500, then it spread throughout the continent, finding the ideal climate in the countries of the Mediterranean basin. Initially it was considered poisonous and used only as a ornamental plant, but soon the cultivation of it around Napoli became one of the peculiar features of the area and the fruit from across Atlantic moved quickly into the kitchen, where it became the basic element for the preparation of extremely delicious sauces.

9. DESIGNED PASTA

After reading about how the variety of pasta developed in centuries thanks to the creativity and the collaboration between people and communities, I was curious to know if any designer tried to create the â&#x20AC;&#x153;perfect pasta shapeâ&#x20AC;?. I found an article and discovered that someone actually did try, however, it was a complete failure. The two extreme pasta shapes in question are designed by two big names: Giorgetto Giugiaro, Italian car designer and Philippe Starck, French product and furniture designer. There is also another pasta shape designed a few years ago by Mario Oliveri, that has been much more successful, but I never saw it on the shelves of a supermarket.

1983 MARILLE, Giorgetto Giugiaro

In 1983, the pasta manufacturing company Voiello decided to bring some innovation to the brand and develop a “modern” pasta shape. The assignment was given to Giugiaro, and the result of the project, a pasta named Marille, went into production. Giugiaro realized that his new design should be produced by extrusion, should not absorb too much sauce and should increase its volume in water. Unlike conventional rigatoni, the grooves or rugosities on the concave surfaces of the tubes were presumably designed to give better adherence to the sauce. Marille did not remain in production very long, because problems were encountered with the uneven cooking of various parts of the shape; probably the junction of the three elements was cooking more slowly than the rest.

1987 MANDALA, Philippe Stark

In 1987, the French pasta maker Panzani commissioned Starck to design a new pasta shape. Here is what he said about his new concept (from a lecture he gave at the Harvard Graduate School of Design in October 1997): “I was so happy because I’m very interested in things close to humans. I said, “OK, what can I do with pasta? Why do we love pasta? When do we love pasta? We love pasta when we are children, when we are sick, when we are stoned - ah! - or when we are old - in other words, when we are a bit regressed. But sometimes when you eat pasta you become fat. Perhaps the thing I can do is to give the same pleasure, with a good mouth full of pasta, but without making people fat. How I can make a pasta that will be ten percent pasta and ninety percent air? If you make a tube, you have ninety percent air, but when it’s cooked, it collapses.” That’s why I thought of a spring that makes the pasta stay open. And because American and French people always overcook pasta, I made two wings that have a double thickness, so that when you overcook it, eighty percent of the pasta is still al dente. I asked a doctor, “What is in pasta?” and he said, “It’s a perfectly well-balanced food.” “Well-balanced: yin-yang! Perfect, that can be the spring!” This shows you that even in something small, everything can be functional. If you just make a nice design, it’s nothing.”

Of course Mandala is not in production, and if I already didn’t really appreciate Philippe Starck for his attitude and design, after reading this article I like him even less. There is nothing in those few sentences that makes sense, and the fact that he pronounced them in Harvard makes him even more ridiculous.

2010 CAMPOTTI, Mauro Oliveri

Campotti is a project whose particular form is designed to meet the most important values â&#x20AC;&#x2039;â&#x20AC;&#x2039;of pasta: consistency, homogeneous cooking quality and good absorption of seasonings. It is tight in the center so that it assumes the shape of an eight, maintaining the perimeter of the original format but reducing its diameter, thus conferring on the pasta a new sensation on the palate and new possibilities of combination. Campotti also are available in various sizes. In 2011 Campotti were selected for the ADI Design Index publication, the yearbook of the Association for Industrial Design ADI that collects the best Italian design put into production, as only food product. The production line of the Campotti Pasta dei Campi began in 2012.

10. THE FUTURE OF PASTA

The production of pasta evolved in the years, but the concept basically remained the same (make the dough, make the shape, let it dry, put it in a box, sell) and it seems so perfect that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to think about its future. But something is happening. Barilla is collaborating with TNO, a Dutch organisation specialising in applied scientific research, to build a 3D printer that can print pasta shapes to order. The idea is to introduce the food printers in commercial kitchens in order to give clients the possibility to design and print their own custom pasta. A number of experimental printers have been installed in some restaurants in Eindhoven (Netherland), but there is not yet a final design. The machines would in fact still need some adjustment; TNO has been working to increase the speed, which is now 10 times faster than it was two years ago, but still too slow to be able to sustain a large production. Normally Italians are very traditional and protective of their culinary traditions, and so am I sometimes, even if I am a designer and I love innovation. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the 3D printed pasta is going to substitute the 48

actual production, because probably the taste will be different, since it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time to dry, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made right away. But I like the idea of experimenting with food, and I would look at this idea it in a different way, maybe not just a way for fancy restaurants to make the shape you desire directly on your plate, but maybe a tool for developing countries or other particular situations.

11. PASTA AND CINEMA

Half joking and half not, we say that in Italy every important decision or discussion happens around a table, possibly in front of a good plate of spaghetti. Pasta is a simbol of tradition, simplicity and what we call l’arte di arrangiarsi (the art of getting by). Since cinema is a mirror of reality, pasta soon became part of it and of the collective immagination, as a way to represent Italian lifestyle. There are a lot of movies where pasta played an important role. Two that I particularly like are “Miseria e Nobiltà” (“Poverty and Nobility”),1954, with Totò and Sophia Lauren, a story about wealth, poverty, hunger and love and “Un Americano a Roma” (“An American in Rome”), 1947. The last one represents the ‘American dream’, during the after war period, when music and culture of the United States of America landed in Italy for the first time. The film tells the story of an Italian boy fascinated by American culture. Waiting to go to the Unites States, Ferdinand tries to live as an ‘American’, imitating the behavior of the actors he saw at the cinema. Ferdinand tries to Americanize everything he does, but, being Italian, at home, at lunch and dinner he founds pasta. He tries to put it away and eat in

the ‘American way’ instead (mustard, jam, milk…) but he can not resist. He says he eats the maccheroni because they “provoked” him, so he is going to “destroy” them! One can not but mention another unforgettable dinner, sign of how Italy and spaghetti became a symbol of romanticism, passion and hospitality, all around the world: “Lady and the Trump” and the candlelight spaghetti with meatballs. “This is the night, it’s a beautiful night, and we call it bella notte...”

17. Totò, the spaghetti scene in “Poverty and nobility” (“Miseria e Nobiltà”) 18. Alberto Sordi, in the most famous scene of “An American in Rome” (“Un Americano a Roma”) 19. “Lady and the Trump” (“Lilly e il Vagabondo” in Italian)

Spaghetti Harvest On April 1, 1957 the British television programme Panorama (BBC) broadcast a three-minute segment about a bumper spaghetti harvest in southern Switzerland. The success of the crop was attributed both to an unusually mild winter and to the virtual disappearance of the spaghetti weevil. The audience heard Richard Dimbleby, the shows highly respected anchor, discussing the details of the spaghetti crop as they watched video footage of a Swiss family pulling pasta off spaghetti trees and placing it into baskets. The segment concluded with the assurance that, for those who love this dish, theres nothing like real, home-grown spaghetti.

The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest hoax generated an enormous response. Hundreds of people phoned the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this query the BBC diplomatically replied, Place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best. Almost no one else at the BBC knew about it. The segment was not mentioned at all in the pre-transmission publicity handouts. To this day the Panorama broadcast remains one of the most famous and popular April Fools Day hoaxes of all time. It is also believed to be the first time the medium of television was used to stage an April Fools Day hoax. 53

11. CONCLUSIONS

I believe in food as a way to connect people, to start a conversation, to enjoy life and time with friendship and family. I think my mission is to spread what it is the real Italian lifestyle, in a world where people struggle to understand what really matters in life. I like pasta because it’s not a ‘cool’ object, designed by a single person. I like to think about it as the result of a continuous design process, in which families and generations collaborated and expressed their creativity through the centuries. For my thesis I would like to explore the idea of collaborative design, doing workshops with a variety of different people as a tool to engage them in a process they don’t know anything about, in order to create unpredictable results together.
