Arrabbiata
Arrabbiata sauce, known in Italian as ''arrabbiata'' (''arabbiata'' in Romanesco dialect), is a spicy sauce made with tomatoes, garlic, ''peperoncino'', parsley, and extra virgin olive oil. The sauce originates from the Lazio region of Italy, and particularly from the city of Rome. Origin of the name ''Arrabbiata'' literally means 'angry' in Italian; in Romanesco dialect the adjective ''arabbiato'' denotes a characteristic (in this case spiciness) pushed to excess.Ravaro (2005), p. 86, ''sub voce''. In Rome, in fact, any food cooked in a pan with a lot of oil, garlic, and ''peperoncino'' so as to provoke a strong thirst is called "''arrabbiato''" (e.g. ''broccoli arrabbiati''). History The invention of the dish dates back to the 1950s and 1960s, at a time when spicy food was in vogue in Roman cuisine.Carnacina (1975), p. 81. The dish has been celebrated several times in Italian movies, notably in Marco Ferreri's '' La Grande Bouffe'' (1973) and Federico Fellini's '' Roma'' (197 ...

Penne
Penne () are an extruded type of pasta in the shape of tubular pieces with ends cut at an angle. They are usually made from wheat flour. Etymology ''Penne'' is the plural form of the Italian ''penna'' (meaning "feather", but "pen" as well), deriving from Latin ''penna'' (meaning "feather" or "quill"), and is a cognate of the English word "pen". When this shape was created, it was intended to imitate the then-ubiquitous steel nib of fountain and dip pens. Origins Penne are one of the few pasta shapes with a certain date of birth: in 1865, Giovanni Battista Capurro, a pasta maker from San Martino d'Albaro (Genoa), obtained a patent for a diagonal cutting machine. His invention cut the fresh pasta into a pen shape without crushing it, in a size varying between ''mezze penne'' () and penne (). Description and variations In Italy, penne are produced in two main variants: ''penne lisce'' ("smooth") and ''penne rigate'' ("lined"), the latter having ridges on each penna. ''Penno ...

Peperoncino
''Peperoncino'' (; : ''peperoncini'') is the generic Italian name for hot chili peppers, specifically some regional cultivars of the species ''Capsicum annuum'' and '' C. frutescens'' (chili pepper and Tabasco pepper, respectively). The sweet pepper is called ''peperone'' (: ''peperoni'') in Italian. Like most peppers, the fruit is green or yellowish-green when young, and ripens to a red colour. History The ''peperoncino'' probably came to Italy around the 15th century, when southern Italy was under Spanish dominion. It was likely an export from the new world among other plants new to Europe, such as the tomato. Like the tomato, the ''peperoncino'' was first considered a decorative and possibly poisonous plant before it was adopted into Italian cuisine. It might have become popular as a food long before the cookbooks attest to its use; these cookbooks were written for the upper classes, while the ''peperoncino'' was a cheap and convenient food for the lower classes.

Roma (1972 Film)
''Roma'' (also known as ''Fellini's Roma'' or ''Federico Fellini's Roma'') is a 1972 semi-autobiographical comedy-drama film depicting director Federico Fellini's move from his native Rimini to Rome as a youth. The film was directed by Fellini from a screenplay by himself and Bernardino Zapponi. It is a homage to the city, shown in a series of loosely connected episodes set during both Rome's past and present. The plot is minimal, and the only "character" to develop significantly is Rome herself. Peter Gonzales plays the young Fellini, and the film features mainly newcomers in the cast. Plot Federico Fellini recounts his youth in Rome. The film opens up with a long traffic jam to the city. Once there, scenes are shown depicting Rome during the Fascist regime in the 1930s as well as in the 1970s. A young Fellini moves into a vivacious guesthouse inhabited by unusual people (including a Benito Mussolini lookalike) and run by a sick obese woman. He visits two brothels—one b ...
