Monastery of Itria minni of virgins (Sciacca-prov. Agrigento)
The Minni di Virgini are a confectionery product included in the list of Traditional Agri-food Products (PAT). The dessert is actually linked to the 1725th century Sambuca, and in particular to the noble Beccadelli family. Donna Francesca Reggio, who became Marquise of Sambuca for marrying Don Giuseppe, in XNUMX, on the occasion of the wedding of her only son Pietro, asked Sister Virginia Casale di Rocca Menna of the college of Maria "to go all out to come up with the absolute novelties in the fields of their competence and, among these, in the field of confectionery.
