Ingredients Directions Notes Italians marked childbirth with ritual foods. While the big party to celebrate the event was held when the newborn was baptized, those living in the countryside prior to World War II generally offered the infant's mother special foods that would aid in the production of milk.... The art work attached to this entry, entitled "Maddone del latte" was created by the artist, Correggio, sometime in the 16th century. |
