Bolognese rolling pin for pasta sheets in Bologna

The Bolognese rolling pin for pasta sheets is a long wooden cylinder, often thinner and more elongated than common household rolling pins. It is used to roll fresh egg pasta by hand until achieving the thin sheet typical of the Emilia tradition. It is the symbolic tool of the sfogline, the women who for generations have prepared tortellini, tagliatelle, and lasagne in homes and workshops across Bologna. Usually made from durable woods such as beech or maple, it looks simple but is designed to guarantee precision and control during the process.
