WHERE FOUND
Found throughout Italy, but in particular in Liguria and also in Lazio.
The flour is sifted onto a wooden board and kneaded with eggs for a long time, then left to rest. The dough is rolled out intoa very thin sheet, which is cut into very thin Tagliolini. The factory-made shape is thinner than a Spaghettino, generally long, round, and about 1 mm in diameter. The pasta is cooked in broth.
These thin, thin strands of pasta. They cook very fast, they overcook easily, and their fine texture can become porridgy if served in a thick sauce. So difficult to make by hand as to be nigh-on impossible, they were the height of refinement.

COMPLEX OF LINES
The different ways of using several lines and the nature of their reciprocal effect, the subordination of individual lines to a group of lines or to a complex of lines is a question of composition and passes beyond the limits of my present purpose. In spite of this, a few more characteristic examples are necessary, to the extent that the nature of the individual line can be illuminated by these examples. Some combinations will be very briefly shown here solely as a suggestion of the way to more complex structures.
