Chisolini (chisulèn) are one of the best known specialties of the province of Piacenza.

With this name they are called especially in the area of the Val d’Arda where they accompany the typical Piacenza cold cuts and cheese.
They are also prepared in village festivals where they are distributed in pieces in paper bags. During the week chisolini are also made by bakers.
It is a dish that belongs to the so-called “poor cuisine”. It is difficult to trace the origin of chisolino. Surely, however, this product is linked to Fiorenzuola in an indissoluble way as it is part of a heritage of culture and traditions shared by the Florentines for several generations.
