Artwork Story
Another distant arrival from south America, the zucchini is from the cucurbita family, and includes what in English we also call squash and pumpkins. It’s formally a fruit, but treated as a vegetable by most cooks, and comes in scores of forms and sizes: Sicily hosts zucchini up to a metre long, and in any number of colours and stripes. And zucchina? The fruit can take masculine or feminine across Italy— often from village to village—and English takes the American masculine plural. In any case, zucchini is the diminutive of zucca, the word for pumpkin/gourd/squash.
