My Nonna's Cheese Grater

This is my Nonna's cheese grater.  I can tell you that it is over 60 years old.  My grandfather's brother Michael Paccadolmi (who died in 1952) made it for her from a piece of sheet metal and a piece of wood.  It has been repaired over the years with a few nuts and bolts, but it still works.  I don't use it anymore, but rather display it in its  revered place with my most cherished possessions.

So many delicious recipes were enhanced with the Pecorino Romano cheese which passed through this grater.
