Rotondella

Rotondella (Neapolitan language: 'a Retunne) is a town and comune in the province of Matera, in the Southern Italian region of Basilicata.

Key Information

Language

[edit]

The local vernacular lies on the eastern tip of the Lausberg area, and as such it is an archaizing dialect of the Neapolitan language. It features a notable amount of inherited Ancient and Byzantine Greek words, like surigghia, "lizard", from *sauricola, a late diminuitive of σαύρα (saúra); ghattuvigghia "bat", from a similarly-formed diminuitive of νυκτερίς (nukterís), also influenced by ghatt "cat"; or zilona, "turtle", from χελώνη (chelóna), all with the same meaning.

Cuisine

[edit]
  • U pastizz rutunnar: Prodotti agroalimentari tradizionali (protected traditional food), half moon-shaped pie filled with mincemeat.[3]
  • Frizzule c'a muddiche: pasta kneaded on a knitting needle (called frizzulo in the local vernacular) and served with meat sauce and fried, paprika-flavoured breadcrumbs.[4]
  • Sospiri di Rotondella: a local twist on an all-Southern glazed sponge cake with cream filling. Also produced in Pisticci, with a slightly different recipe (the Rotondellese one is kept secret by the local pastry chef). [citation needed]
