Loreto Aprutino
Loreto Aprutino ( Abruzzese: ') is a ''comune'' and town in the Province of Pescara in the Abruzzo region of central Italy.

The Italic Vestini, following their defeat by the Romans in the Social War, eventually built a town around the ''castellum'' and called it ''Lauretum'', because of the many bay laurels (Latin ''laurus'') that then grew in the area. The town was built around a castle and abbey, established by Benedictine monks around the year 1000, and came to political prominence in the eleventh century with the establishment of a county by the Normans. The town would be a stronghold of Swabian and Angevin nobility until the fourteenth century, when a series of great houses would rule Loreto and the surrounding countryside up to the abolition of feudalism: among others, the d'Aquino, the d'Avalos, the Caracciolo, as ...

''Penne'' is the plural form of the Italian ''penna'' (meaning ''feather'' but ''pen'' as well), deriving from Latin ''penna'' (meaning "feather" or "quill"), and is a cognate of the English word ''pen''. When this format was created, it was intended to imitate the then-ubiquitous steel nib of fountain and dip pens. Origins ''Penne'' is one of the few pasta shapes with a certain date of birth: in 1865, Giovanni Battista Capurro, a pasta maker from San Martino d'Albaro (Genoa), obtained a patent for a diagonal cutting machine. His invention cut the fresh pasta into a pen shape without crushing it, in a size varying between ''mezze penne'' (half pens) and ''penne'' (pens). Description and variations In Italy, ''penne'' are produced in two main variants: ''penne lisce'' (smooth) and ''penne rigate'' (furrowed), the latter having ridges on each penna.
