yes! there was a programme on bbc radio 4 recently about the history of sourdough. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01mnpzv not sure if you can listen to it from Italy though
Exactly! pasta madre is not sour and you cannot taste it. But Bread made with pasta Madre is easier to digest and has a richer and deeper flavour. Also Italian Pastra Madre is stronger than starters made from rye flour and is able to rice sweet breads such as panettone. Gala have a look at this blog: http://pastamadre.blogspot.co.uk/p/spacciatori-di-pasta-madre.html you might be able to identify a "spacciatore" of Pasta Madre near you; then you could use our recipes: http://blogtwomamas.blogspot.co.uk/
