Origin place card

Verified history
The source itself warns that known local bibliography contains no mentions; tradition rests on an octogenarian's testimony describing his mother's preparation, suggesting at least a century-old tradition in Teggiano.

Spaghetti, raisined wine grapes, anchovy fillets, breadcrumbs, salt, oregano, oil, garlic, olives.
Method
Spaghetti par-boiled, then layered in a deep oven dish with grapes, anchovy, oregano and oil-and-garlic toasted breadcrumbs; topped with breadcrumbs and oil; baked.
Ritual / calendar
Christmas Eve ('vigilia di Natale'), a meatless day.
Why travel for it
This is one of the pages that can define TIFA Atlas: you read it and immediately want to go to Teggiano before Christmas to ask who still dries the grapes.
Editorial warning
Source explicitly flags absence of bibliographic mentions; history is oral (elder testimony). Preserve that uncertainty.
