Look how young the children were when they would send them deep into the pasta mines. Back then, they didn’t even use proper ventilation. They would frequently end up with gluten lung.

I always wonder about drying food in a place full of airborne pollution, dust, etc.

Clearly this is from the pasta mines. They needed child labour to extract from the tight spaces where the rich veins were under Italy.

I bet that’s some bomb pasta. Ya gotta carry it through the hills of Italy to really get the flavor.
