Ancient Rome to Modern Italy

Did you know that in ancient Rome, urine was a valuable commodity? That's right! People used to collect it from public urinals, and fullers—those who cleaned clothes—used it to bleach their togas. It sounds a bit "pee-culiar," right? But wait, it gets better! The ammonia in urine was an excellent cleaning agent. Fast forward to today, and Italians still have a unique relationship with their food. In fact, many believe that pasta should only be eaten al dente, or “to the tooth.” So, if your pasta is mushy, just remember: you might be offending a whole nation!
