About this audio guide
This guide to Sfoglia Rina in Bologna centers on the old test a sfoglina uses to prove her dough is rolled thin enough: holding it to a window to see if light passes clear through. It follows Rina De Franceschi, who opened a pasta shop in Casalecchio di Reno in 1963 and built her reputation sheet by sheet, and her grandson Lorenzo, who later carried the trade into the historic center under her name. Try the test yourself with a strand held up to the light.
