World's longest sausage

This small village in the southern province of Potenza is trying to become the latest Italian town to enter the Guinness Book of Records by producing what it hopes will be the world's longest sausage.

According to the Rotonda town official responsible for tourism, Giuseppe Bonafine, butchers are already at work producing some 60-70 meters of sausage a day. By Saturday, the sausage should measure 450 meters, thus beating the record of 413 meters held by a town in the Sardinian province of Sassari.
