In the past, when they were "Carnival's Crown," people gave
cannoli to all their friends by the dozen. One can only imagine the people in
the pastry shops churning them out and the sweet sugary smell of the ricotta
filling wafting over the city!
They are older, however: an
anonymous 17th century poet, who once said:
Beddi Cannola di
Carnalivari
Megghiu vuccuni a la munnu 'un ci nn'è:
Sú biniditti spisi li dinari;
Ogni cannolu è scettru d'orgni Re.
Arrivunu li donni a disistari;
Lu cannolu è la virga di Moisè
Cui nun ni mancia, si fazza ammazzari,
Cu li disprezza è un gran curnutu affè! |
Beautiful are the Cannoli
of Carnevale,
No tastier morsel in the world:
Blessed is the money used to buy them;
Cannoli are the scepters of all Kings.
Women even desist [from pregnancy]
For the cannolo, which is Moses's Staff:
He who won't eat them should let himself be killed;
He who doesn't like them is a cuckold, Olè! |
