“And if we used the lampredotto to attract souls in pain, hungry more than immortal verses,” was the wonderful notion that struck him while a young apprentice vinattiere named Beppe was blending wines in a barrel in the year 1321 (maybe).
It’s supposed that Beppe figured out the “magical lampredotto”—a sandwich that can make even the most disinterested traveler fall in love. The primary component? The abomasus, the cattle’s fourth stomach cavity, was cooked gently in a soup that, for example, included a handful of blessed basil and a tear of Chianti wine.

One day, a wayfarer with a family air passed by, with an aquiline nose and a dusty toga: it was Dante Alighieri in the flesh and blood! He lived nearby, he was looking for inspiration for paradise, but stopped, attracted by the scent of tripe. “Beppe, what divine invention is this?” the poet exclaimed. Beppe, with a smart smile, replied: “It is not divine, she is Fiorentina! Eat, and you will see bliss without Beatrice’s need. ” Dante, after hitting the sandwich, wrote: “So we came out to see the broth.”
