Satriano - Spicy Wrinkles

A necessary lexical premise

A wrinkle is something that may turn many people's noses up, but in this case, the time that inexorably marks the skin has nothing to do with it. Or rather, the etymon is still the same, from the Latin rūga "wrinkle, crease," but the term should be understood in the figurative sense of a street lined with houses and stores. On the other hand, doesn't a road perhaps come into being by tracing a furrow? Meaning, in which it runs into for example in Venice, where still in the toponymic hierarchy a step above the calle stands for greater length the wrinkle. And not forgetting the further example of Paris, where the noun rue indicates the most common urban street type.

Spicy, a value that is pragmatic in Calabria

Coming now to Satriano 's wrinkles , how can they be spicy? Nothing malicious because "spicy wrinkles" is a play on words that is immediately explained in a gastronomic key.

All this, against the backdrop of a town that lends its most picturesque corners to craft stalls and musical events for the occasion.
