The roots of this pumpkin are deep in tradition

Pumpkin comes from the Americas, where native populations had been cultivating it for ten thousand years along with corn and beans, and it arrived in Europe after Columbus, soon conquering Italian vegetable gardens. It was especially the Gonzagas of Mantova and the Este family of Ferrara made it a court dish: in 1584 the chef Giovan Battista Rossetti, in the service of the Este family, included “pumpkin tortelli” in his recipe book, ancestors of the famous Mantuan tortelli with pumpkin, amaretti biscuits and mustard that are still prepared today on Christmas Eve.

And tomorrow, on the evening of October 31st, pumpkins take center stage outside the kitchen as well. The tradition of carving pumpkins with candles inside comes from Ireland, where on All Saints' Day, turnips and beets were dug up to ward off spirits; Irish immigrants, arriving in America, discovered that pumpkins were much easier to carve, and the jack-o'-lantern was born. It's a tradition that even rural Italy knew: in many countryside towns, on All Souls' Day, illuminated pumpkins were placed in windows and on walls.
