Spaghetti alla chitarra is a typical dish of Italian cuisine, originating in the Abruzzo region of Italy. Prepared with durum wheat semolina and water, they are cut into square strips through a special chitarra, from which they take their name. This particular shape gives them a unique texture, ideal for holding thick sauces such as meat sauce or tomato sauce. Their tradition is rooted in the peasant culture of Abruzzo, where they were prepared by hand and eaten by the family during the holidays. Today they are a beloved dish throughout Italy and the world, a symbol of the richness and variety of Italian cuisine.

Mara
Cesarina from 2018Location: Forlì    Languages: Italian and English
Born in the Romagna part of the region, Mara safeguards a cooking tradition perpetuated among the women in her family from generation to generation. Mara’s knowledge grew even more when she met her husband Alfredo’s mother. A wonderful cook who left her notebooks full of recipes and customs rooted in the traditions of the city of Forlì.  Her skills in the kitchen are those of a Romagnola DOC.  She has always cooked and breaths the air of the local gastronomy every day.   Mara has been host to some of the greats on the Italian theatrical scene: Rossella Falk, Giorgio Albertazzi, Alessandro and Paola Gassman, Gianmarco Tognazzi, Giuliana de Sio, Carl Anderson and many others. How so? Offering after-theater dinners to the theater companies that staged their shows at the theater in Forlì. Her excellent cooking, combined with her pleasant and cheerful company, have transformed Mara into a true legend of the Forlì after-theater crowd.
