For those not in Pistoia that name will be weird ... On August 24 we celebrate the feast of St. Bartholomew, which are closely linked to party (I've rarely missed one! I am a bit 'parochial ...), our city is the only one in Tuscany to venerate the Apostle as a protector of children. E 'children's festival par excellence and the crown of San Bartolomeo is its symbol, is a collection of shortbread cookies and candy confetti alternating with a lot of coin, to be honest is also used to buy only "foo" of crown. The festival expected to bring the babies to "anoint" (.. is a special blessing for those who are believers) to the church of San Bartolomeo in Pantano (which among other things worth a look, it's really nice ..) and then all around the church there are games and bean counters at will, of course there are the crown above it 'the brigidini Lamporecchio (Pistoia other goodies ..)!
But I think I buy the crown to my Piccirilli? No. .. do not talk just then and it is fun, dressed up and sew it! It would almost wear it!

Once cooked and cooled sew with needle and twine giving it the shape of a necklace, spacing out the "pippi" with sweets and confetti, well then you will be sorry to eat it but I suggest you do so, maybe the next day just to enjoy it a bit '.. . (soaked in milk is very good!)
