a Brief story of this pot: my aunt married in early 50, she was really young and she pent her lifetime with her husband, since i've memory that pot was used every sunday to make pasta sauce ( no need to say she was form naples ! ).

My aunt Carmela was a heartwarming woman, she never had any child so she adopted me as nephew ( she also was my grandmother sister ) and she always take care of us with love, when she was alive her home was a safe place with something to eat and fresh clothes anytime you need.

as i said this pot was used to make tons of sauce for the sunday lunch for years , i keept it and i'm still using for the same purpose.

​

the only maintenance i've done to it ( and the cover too ) was a complete polish for removing scratches and no more .

She was sweet and nice and she alway offered shelter doesn't matter what, her husband Giovanni " Gianni " was the same.

Oooh, that's awesome. I'm salivating seeing you cooking on coals, that sauce looks absolutely amazing. I'm really excited to get our coal-fired oven going- we bought a house a couple years ago that had a fireplace in the kitchen, and we've just had it reconditioned prior to putting some black iron doors on it and turning it into a wood fired oven, and I can't wait to actually start using it! Here's the fireplace in it's current state: https://imgur.com/PPRxBgp
