Fusilli of Pisa A secret enclosed in 7 spirals Martelli's latest creation is inspired by the story of Peciolo, a Pisan baker who in 1284 hired a worker, 'Famulus Salvius' to make pasta. 7 spirals, like the rings of the Tower of Pisa, with a slight ridge on the edges to indicate the pathway, follow one another in a vortex that elevates taste to its maximum power.
