Boccoli

Boccoli (plural of boccolo) is an Italian word that translates to "curls" or "ringlets" in English. It often refers specifically to small, defined curls of hair. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe something that resembles a curl or ringlet in shape. In some regional dialects, it might also refer to tightly rolled or coiled pasta, though this usage is less common than its application to hair. While primarily descriptive of hair, its broader figurative applications extend to describing similarly shaped objects in nature or art.
