The Tuscan Pici date back to the Etruscan era, as evidenced by some findings in the tomb of the Leopardi of Tarquinia (5th century BC): the funerary monument portrays the scene of a banquet in which this elongated and irregular shaped pasta is served, which could be the ancestor of the Pici. There are many different theories on the origin of the name. It could take its cue from the name of the illustrious Roman gastronome Marco Gavio Apicio, who lived around the year zero. Or they could derive from San Felice in Picis, a town in the province of Arezzo.

Durum Wheat Semolina pasta has a short cooking time (Pici cooks in 9-11 minutes) and can become very fragile. It is ideal with simple sauces that require only a short stir. For the more complex ones, the best choice is to cook it directly in the sauce, in full risotto style.
