La Cucuzza!

Oh, It's so big! No wonder you've got such goodlooking grandkids with a cucuzza like that. Now I understand those rumors about the North African invasions. That combined with the ethnic cleansers from Lombardy; there must have been quite an interesting time in bedrooms, brothels, and sunny glens all over Sicily right around 1068. Not quite the cachet of 1066, but the winters were better (as was the food). 

Oh well, see you in about 900 years, Chido!

I have many the picture, posed with Nonna and her prized cucuzza.

At last! The cucuzza connection.

Philip Roth use 'Cucuzza' as the family name of your typical mob family next door in The Plot Against America.

I had never seen the word written before and it was a few pages (chapters??) until I realized what I was reading. Grandpa got his pic in House & Garden with this particular cucuzza.
