Chiacchiere siciliane
“Chiacchiere” is a typical sweet of the Italian Carnival. The origins of this dessert date back to the ancient Romans, who used to prepare fried sweets (named "frictilia") during the Saturnalia celebrations (a festivity which is comparable to today's Carnival). The ease cooking allowed to serve the entire crowd. The chiacchiere are spread throughout Italy, but their name varies from region to region: for example, they are called crostoli in Trentino, sfrappole in Bologna, cenci in Tuscany, and bugie in Liguria.
