Fumone. Frappe or Chiacchiere

Frappe or Chiacchiere are typical sweets of the Carnival in Ciociaria and are considered good luck.

They have a typical zigzag profile and often have the shape of a bow.

They can not miss in parties and weddings. Once, a few days before the happy day, the bride went with relatives and friends to the groom's house carrying a basket of frappe on her head.

This was considered the beginning of the party.
