  Da Scalo rolls hunks of the dough into thin ropes, and cuts each into ½-inch chunks. Then—with a quick flip of a small knife—one at a time she drags each chunk across the table, transforming it into the tiny cup-like orecchiette pasta for which Puglia (the heel of the Italian boot) is known. They will dry on a screen in the sun for an hour before being bagged and sold to passersby and local chefs who whir past on scooters.

At the moment, she’s more focused on her beans—plump, brown borlotti that have simmered for an hour with chopped yellow onions and rosemary, the first and richly aromatic stage of pasta con fagioli, which she is preparing for me and Salvatore Messineo, the retired stolen art investigator to whom the Italian government entrusted the winery when it was taken from the Mafia. Because of course.
