The city, birthplace of Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, was ruled by the noble family bearing the same name.<\/p><p>After weeks of fierce resistance, the people of Mirandola were starving. They had only a few pigs left, which they had to protect at all costs from the invaders, who were preparing to enter the city.<\/p><p>This is where an ingenious idea came from one of Pico della Mirandola&#8217;s cooks, who suggested preserving the leanest meat inside a casing made from the skin of the pigs&#8217; front legs, so that it could be kept and cooked later when needed. A clever solution born out of necessity, somewhere between history and legend, which gave life to two products destined to become icons of Italian
