Description: Snails. There are many names for snaiI in Italy, including bovoli, bovoloni, bovoletti. I was taken one Christmas to the Bovolo, a spiral staircase in Venice, by a Venetian dentist so that he could show me its beauties. These snails are traditionally cooked on hot coals and served with a sauce of olive oil and garlic. Bovoli are also snail-shaped rolls.
