La Vecchia Scuola Bolognese is a school which teaches how to make Emilian sfoglia in Bologna, Italy founded by Alessandra Spisni in 1993, a famous sfoglina, in the tradition of Emilia-Romagna.
The school teaches both one day courses for tourists to Bologna as well as more advanced training courses extending months for aspiring sfoglini.[1][2]
The Los Angeles celebrity pasta chef Evan Funke attended the school in the late 2000s practicing rolling sfoglia over 1000 times.[3][4] It was described by the Washington Post as the most famous fresh pasta school in Italy.[5]
Storia
[edit]La Vecchia Scuola Bolognese was founded in 1993 by Alessandra Spisni.[6][7] It is the only school of its kind in the world.[6][8] The original location on Via Malvasia 49 was a ground-level facility with a small kitchen and 12-table dining room.[9] It moved to La Strada di Galliera, one of Bologna's historically premiere shopping streets, in 2012.[10]
In 2017, La Vecchia Scuola Bolognese moved into a new 280 square meter space in Parco Nord with a ribbon cutting attended by the mayor of Bologna.[11][12] The daughter of Alessandra, Stefania, also now teaches and works at the school.[2] The school has both professional and amateur courses in pasta making with a professional course taking three months.[13][14] It is also possible to eat there and purchase home delivery and takeaway of pasta.[15][16]
