Wooden Rolling Pin and Board

The object does not have a specific name, but it is a wooden rolling pin, with a wooden cutting board used to make pasta. The object is tan and spherical, and it is wooden. The object is used to spread pasta and knead the dough. The object is still used today, and has been used for a long time. The object came from Italy and was eventually brought to a farm in Pennsylvania. Specifically, my grandma, and my great-grandma use this object. I learned to use this object when I was very young, at around eight years old. This object can teach people about my identity, by the cutting board showing that I am Italian. This object makes me feel happy that my ancestors would make pasta by hand and not buy it from the store. The object is important to me because it shows my culture, in just one object. I would want to ask this object how old it is, and what its favorite type of pasta was to make! I want to know how far back our family roots go in Italy. People need to understand this object, because it shows that in Italian culture making pasta yourself is traditional. This one object can teach many lessons about culture, food, and my family roots.
