In introducing Tuscany's cacciucco Artusi notes that a very similar fish stew is called Brodetto on the Adriatic coast, and then observes that the word Brodetto is used to describe an egg-based Easter soup in Florence: He concludes with the hope that Italians will with time unify their culinary terminology.
