tangentopoli

Tangentopoli (city of bribes) was the name given by journalists to the corruption scandal of the early 1990s which involved numerous politicians, government ministers, high-profile industrialists and businessmen. Judicial investigations uncovered an extensive network of bribery, paid for from both private and public funds. The scandal emerged in Milan, and the city was therefore known as Tangentopoli .

pasta

In ancient times fresh noodles were made from flour, water, and salt. It was in the Middle Ages, during the Arab rule of Sicily, that people first began to dry and store noodle dough, a process which suddenly allowed pasta to spread first throughout Italy and then all over the world. The dozens of types of pasta known today include not only spaghetti and maccheroni, but also penne, tubetti, lumaconi, conchiglie, bucatini, fusilli, capelli d'angelo, rigatoni, linguine, ziti, and vermicelli.
