Festività di San Lorenzo Martire Patrono di Cave

San Lorenzo è il patrono di Cave, certamente lo è stato da sempre, poiché il suo nome è legato al millenario Santuario, risalente all’anno 988, che rappresenta uno dei beni più importanti del patrimonio storico-culturale e artistico della città che sarà possibile conosc...ere domenica 10 agosto dalle ore 11 attraverso una visita guidata.
La processione rappresenta un momento saliente della festività, è il momento in cui la partecipazione popolare dimostra l’affetto che il popolo di Cave nutre per il Suo Santo Patrono. L’affetto che i cittadini di Cave portano al loro Patrono è dimostrato anche dal fatto che il nome Lorenzo è molto diffuso tra la popolazione.
Ogni anno e da sempre - come nelle memorie degli anziani - la ricorrenza religiosa è accompagnata da festeggiamenti, decenni fa si svolgeva a piazza del Plebiscito, da qualche anno si organizza nella splendida cornice del Parco Villa Clementi.
L’apertura dei festeggiamenti avrà luogo venerdì 8 agosto con il gruppo di musica popolare Cavesja e il gruppo di musica anni ’80 – ’90 “A volte ritornano” e per tutte e tre le serate dalle ore 18 saranno presenti stands, punti ristoro e animazione per bambini
Sabato 9 agosto sarà la volta di “Io e Lui band” e lo spettacolo con il comico Marco Marzocca
Domenica 10 in mattinata ci saranno le dimostrazioni con mezzi della Protezione Civile di Cave, alle ore 11 la Santa Messa all’aperto, in serata Defilè di Junior Style” e alle 21 la grande cantautrice italiana FIORSALISO!

JUST LIKE THEY USED TO MAKE IT…
Master baker Erminia is pleased. She loves her job and she especially loves her giglietti. She prepares them according  to the historic recipe and she uses exclusively ingredients tha tare produced in the Monti Prenestini area.The eggs are from organic chicken farms; the flouris from local wheat which is stoneg round by a centuries-old mill. Everythingis genuinely good, local, organic and produced in the Rome countryside.  

THE RECIPE FOR THE GIGLIETTO DI PALESTRINA 

Palestrina’s giglietto, is a crispy , traditional cookie , a true expression of culinary excellence from the Rome countryside. The recipe is easy: – 3 eggs – 250g sugar – 250g flour. Whisk the eggs and the sugar until frothy, gradually add the flour. On a well-floured work surface use a small amount of dough at a time and pull out three pieces into elongated shapes. Join the three pieces and bend down one on each side which give the effect of flower petals. The cookies should rest a few minutes before being baked. Bake for10 minutes at 180 degrees centigrade. The giglietto cookie is pale in color and should not be cooked until golden brown!!

THE HISTORY OF THE GIGLIETTO

This unique recipe was brought to Italy by the cooks of Palestrina’s noble Barberini family who discovered the flower-shaped cookie during the1600’s while in France. They liked the cookie so much that when they returned to Palestrina they decided to continue making this treat. Since then, the giglietto cookie has been a representative symbol of the town of Palestrina.

Ms. ERMINIA CAN TEACH YOU HOW TO PREPARE THE GIGLIETTO COOKIES AT HER BAKERY!

by Jennifer Vieley It’s quite a spectacle to watch these women bakers with their talented handiwork as they prepare this historic recipe and culinary work of art with naturalness; here it is, the giglietto cookie. Infact watching them makes you want to give it a try. How in the world do they do it? They make it look so easy! In a fraction of a second, the characteristic shape comes to life on the iron cookie sheet, it is an elegant fleur-de-lis made of water, flour, eggs and sugar. Master baker Erminia explains, “It’s from years of experience. We started making these when we were children.” Three pieces of dough are put on the sheet and quickly shaped. Now the giglietto is ready to be baked in the oven. I couldn’t believe my eyes and I could hardly follow their fast pace as I tried to capture their incredible hand movements as they shaped the cookies at the historic Forno Fiasco in Castel San Pietro Romano, a small town on the hill above Palestrina, a top Monte Ginestro. They could probably have done it blindfolded.

I WANT TO TRY, TOO!

Please show me again how it’s done! One of the ladies looked at me with smiling eyes and then got to work. She showed me step by step what the correct movements were to shape the giglietto into a flower. Then she gave me some dough and told me to try for myself. I put on the apron, approached the work table and tried to remember the movements. The result? You can see my giglietto in the photo below, it’s the second from left in the bottom row! Not exactly the right shape, but it was worth a few laughs. Now it’s time for a taste.   So one of the lady bakers passed me a cookie that had been baked earlier that morning… Wow! Now I understand why SlowFood wants to put the giglietto into its Ark of Taste. The authentically delightful flavor is heavenly, it’s a cookie that’s very different from all the others. It’s light and crispy, simple but  lovely. It’s truly unique.
