CERVELLATI

Cervellati is typically Emilian, of Bologna above all and of Imola, Molinella and Castenaso in the Bolognese of Ferrara and Argenta in the Ferrara and Ravenna areas, two possible nickname origins can be hypothesized, the first from the word cervellata (a type of saffron sausage), hypothesizing so that the progenitors could be delicatessen-makers, the second, very far from the former as a meaning, assumes instead a derivation from the medieval word cervelliera (a type of helmet), in this case the founders may have been military, that is with a cervelliera.
