The ability replika breitling to process and preserve pork meat by the inhabitants of Norcia has been sanctioned by the extension of the meaning of the word norcino from being the inhabitant of Norcia (which should more correctly be Nursino) to being the person who processes and sells pork meat. How and why this term has come to be part of the Italian language is still being studied. Some people suggest that there was a direct relationship with the nearby School of Surgeons in Preci that flourished in the Middle Ages; but it is not clear whether it was norcineria that promoted human surgery or whether it was the surgical tables that taught how to deal correctly with the pig’s anatomy. According to the first hypothesis it was the art of norcino that was sublimated by surgery. The alternative suggests that those who did not manage to be a surgeon, learnt how to cut up animals correctly. In Norcia and Valnerina the processing of the meat is most certainly a passion, an art and a rite at the same time.. The imagination of the inhabitants of the Valnerina and above all the need to find different ways to preserve pork led to the creation of different kinds of cold pork meat amongst which we have: salami or Umbrian “collarina”, smoked neck of pork, loin, sausage, “liver sausage”, “barbozzo” or lard, mortadella, seasoned pork shoulder, black pudding, underbelly.audemars piguet replica
