『Vento Aureo Food Lessons』by dontyouevendare

Lesson Number 1 - Bucciarati's Gang G'day, my fellow boys. Just in time for lunch in GMT-4, I'm going to make you ******* hungry . How, you ask? Simple, I'm going to teach you guys where the Vento Aureo's names come from. I know that you can just go to the wiki and check it out yourself, but wouldn't it be better if your favourite chef explained them to you? Giorno Giovanna (Gio is the Italian equivalent of Jo, so you read it as "Jo-rno Jovanna") isn't really food related, but let's cover it anyway. Giorno means "day", and Giovanna is an Italian feminime name, that literally means "a gift from God". Let me remind you that "God" in Italian is "Dio", so it's literally a gift from Dio. Next one is your favourite boii, Bruno Bucciarati (Bruno Boo-cha-rati)! Bruno is a common Italian name, and it literally means "the one who has dark hair". Bucciarati is just another name of buccellati, an Italian kind of cookies from Sicily island. Buccellati are made of figs, almonds, chocolate, peach jam and honey; one proud beauty of the wonder that is south-Italian cuisine. (pls no ban) Narancia Ghirga (Narancha G-eerga) ~ His name is a contraption of the words "Una" (meaning one, and yes, it's the same as Trish's family name) and "arancia", "orange". So his name literally translates as "An Orange". Ghirga is am uncommon (but still relevant) Italian family's name. Guido Mista (Gu-ee-do Meesta). Guido is a common name in Italy, inspired from the german "Wido". Mista means "mixed" and references the dish "Insalata mista" (mixed salad). While it's not a typical Italian dish (I think ... ?) it's really popular in Italy, to the point that many families constantly have it on their plates as a side dish. Leone Abbacchio (Lee-On-A Abbakkeeo) ~ Leone is a really uncommon but still utilised Italian name; it literally translates to "lion", and I can confirm for sure it's an Italian name because my great-uncle's name is Leone. Fun Fact. The Abbacchio is a typical Italian dish eaten especially during Easter, and it's based on spiced, floured and sliced pieces of lamb. Another fun fact, it's one of the dishes that Tonio gives to Okuyasu. Fugo Pannacotta ~ Fugo means "Dismissing" in Italian, but I'm sure that Araki wanted to call Pannacotta "Furio", and that naming him Fugo was an accidental mistake. In fact, "Furio" is a common Italian name that literally means "the one who's furious", and that pretty much covers Fugo's anger issues. Panna cotta is an Italian dessert. Very simply and tasty, it consists of a body of boiled cream and gelatine, so dense it stands on its own, covered in caramel, wild berries jam or chocolate. Originally from the north-Italian cuisine, it rapidly became extremely popular all over Italy and it's now one of the most popular and beloved desserts.
