A wide variety of sausages (Italian: salsiccia, Italian: [salˈsittʃa]; pl.: salsicce) are made in Italy, having evolved through the centuries into many regional varieties.[1] The sausages will typically be either a type of fresh sausage (Italian: salsiccia fresca), or a type of dried sausage (Italian: salsiccia secca). There are also some types of sausages that can be either used fresh or cured, such as Tuscan sausages (Italian: salsicce toscane).[1][2]
