" Il piatto “Principe” della cucina varesina di ieri è rappresentato dai “croxetti” che, silenziosamente, con tanto di scettro e corona sono giunti ai giorni nostri. Le loro origini si perdono nella notte dei tempi, la sola cosa che si sa con certezza è che tutte le famiglie della zona preparavano e cucinavano i “croxetti” per le feste e nelle grandi occasioni. Si racconta che Maria Luigia di Borbone, passando per Varese Ligure nel suo viaggio di trasferimento in Francia per andare in sposa a Napoleone Buonaparte, soggiornò presso una famiglia nobile del luogo, la quale cucinò in suo onore i “croxetti”. Gli stampi che si trovano tuttora nelle varie famiglie varesine e conservati come cimeli di un tempo passato, avevano dimensioni e incisioni diverse, semplici ed elaborate, ma tutte volte a lasciare un segno indelebile sulla pasta. Le famiglie nobili avevano lo stampo personalizzato e in certi casi con lo stemma di famiglia. È un piatto da intenditori e buongustai, l'inclusione che lo stampo lancia sulle due facce del medaglione di pasta soddisfa non solo la vista, ma soprattutto il gusto, perché i disegni hanno la proprietà di assorbire più condimento e nel contempo la pressione esercitata sulla pasta non le consente di scuocere.". Nella foto l'artigiano Pietro Picetti che, nel suo laboratorio a Varese Ligure, produce a mano gli stampi per i croxetti.

A tradition that is described in a precise and simple way.
The photo transmits the right passion that needs a tradition. Good photo

Beautiful photo that tells a beautiful story. Photos to put in a museum

Beautiful and useful photo by caption, perhaps in b / w even better.

Really beautiful picture. At the compositional and technical level nothing to say. I like the fact that you have developed in color but I think you could do more in the light of the lamp and create that atmosphere from the "old artisan" shop. Eye to the WB ... it seems to me bluffing the picture. Adjust and "heat"

Beautiful description, very detailed. As far as the composition is concerned I like it and also the right light on work tools. I might have preferred a more vignetting to give more emphasis to the subject.
Overall good photo :-)

Thank you all!
Philip I tried to give a little more light to the lamp but, beyond a certain limit, I seemed to snaturalize, my little PP capability probably. As far as the WBs are concerned, I'm confessing that I'm trying to mark too much on the blue. Here I tried to emphasize a bit the contrast that was between the warm lamp light and the cold light that filtered that came from the door. Maybe I have exaggerated, especially on the shadows there is a blue dominant, thanks for pointing out to me.

Shaking vignetting is an idea to try, even a bn test that at first attempt failed

hello, I like the shot, but I only have one criticism: the lower right corner out of focus greatly disturbs the composition.
to avoid such a hassle you could have followed two ways:
- use a goal with a much more open diaphragm: at that point the out of focus was all there .. because it was not "exclusive" and the subject would have more force
- Close the af / 11 diaphragm so that it is in focus. With the focal point you could go down to 1/60 and climb up with the iso seen the body you have.
This second option I think would be the best way to follow the lens view that obviously a very open diaphragm does not have it!

Great shot, I like the presence of the lamp that guides the look at the craftsman's hands. I would make a conversion to BW by adding a vignetting podium to converge the viewer's view toward the center of the scene and remove the contour elements to the image.

Two thanks for the tips, some shots with the most closed diaphragm and a longer time if I remember doing well, but overall this picture is better ... The most open diaphragm I would have had with 35 f2 (the old 35 f2), I was lazy to admit ... and maybe I would have screwed the MAF! :-D

David I'm going to try it, I just fear that converting to bn will even pull the artisan out of the background

Beautiful photo, fantastic light that emphasizes the gesture. I would make a conversion to b & n because the many colors of surrounding objects distract some attention from the gesture of the subject's manuality.

very successful, intimate photo that conveys the atmosphere that breathes in this shop of other times.
I also agree that a little vignetting would not hurt, it would focus even more attention on the subject and the light. I really like composition !!!

Beautiful photo that passes passion for work. Beautiful direct light on hands that concentrates on them the attention of the observer.
I would have tried a b / w conversion to recall an activity of other times that perhaps is now practically no longer practiced and to limit the importance of the many objects around the craftsman.

I would say I'll try the bn! ;-)

Well-composed and well-maintained photos, with a very natural and little push, a great shot!

Thank you Lorenzo!

Yesterday I tried the vignetting and I would say that the photo is much better, both in color and in bn. Thank you all for the advice!

I am also for the b / n version. Illuminated here, the colors are turned off.
The composition is good.
