One of Milan’s trades, now disappeared<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Among the disappeared professions of Milan there is the Polentatt, or sellers of hot polenta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most famous was “the Polentatt della Madonina”, like the famous Brera street.
The Polentatt craft was typical of Milan, both of the Middle Ages, and was entirely of Bergamo origin.
At the beginning of the fourteenth century it was not so widespread that they had to make a public announcement to limit its presence.
Initially it was an ambulance, which arrived in the square, and was preparing the cauldron to prepare the polenta.
After about two centuries they began to accompany the polenta with “osei” (birds) as per the Bergamo recipe. As the years passed, street vendors began to open shops on the street for takeaway sales.
Together with the birds they began to sell fried fish and hake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the arrival of the first restaurateurs they slowly converted into takeaways and then disappeared immediately after the Second World War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tra i mestieri scomparsi di Milano c'\u00e8 quello dei Polentatt, ovvero i venditori di polenta calda.
Uno dei pi\u00f9 famosi era \u201cel Polentatt de la Madonina\u201d, nell\u2019omonima via a Brera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il mestiere del Polentatt era tipico di Milano, dal medioevo, ed erano tutti di origine bergamasca.
Erano talmente diffusi ai primi del trecento che dovettero fare un annuncio pubblico per limitarne la presenza. Inizialmente erano ambulanti, arrivavano nelle piazze pi\u00f9 affollate e scaldavano il paiolo per preparare la polenta. Dopo circa due secoli iniziarono ad accompagnare alla polenta gli \"osei\" proprio come da ricetta bergamasca.
Col passare degli anni da ambulanti iniziarono ad aprire dei negozi su strada, per la vendita d'asporto ed insieme agli osei e alla polenta iniziarono a vendere anche pesciolini di fiume fritti e merluzzo.
Con l'arrivo dei primi ristoratori si convertirono pian piano in rosticcerie per poi scomparire nell'immediato secondo dopoguerra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
