This heirloom winter squash comes from the small Italian seaside village of Chioggia.

Marina di Chioggia has long been a staple squash in Venice, Italy where it is also known as Suca Braca, or warty pumpkin, in the Venetian dialect. It is mentioned in the play Le Baruffe Chiozzotte, written by the eighteenth-century playwright, Carlo Goldoni and depicts the townspeople of Chioggia fighting over the squash.

Squash averages 10-12 pounds.

Mariana Di Chioggia has dry, sweet flesh that is traditionally used in gnocchi and ravioli, but can be used in soups as well.  Excellent keeper.
