The Capigliette are a sweet, spread out in the area of Oristano and Alto Oristanese.

In the traditional context, the main opportunities for using this type of sweet were ceremonies such as baptism and marriage. The most common form is the rhomboid, however it is also fairly widespread the variant circular. Holders of knowledge about making this cake were mostly cloistered nuns of the convent of Santa Chiara in Oristano and Sacramentine and the Daughters of Mary in Oristano and Santulussurgiu. The fineness of the decorations made by the nuns was considered unbeatable.

Over the time there has been a spread of this sweet in the villages of Campidano of Oristano and Oristano. Because of the reluctance by the most experienced achievers to provide their own recipe, over time a wide range of variants was developed, providing the addition in the filling of flour, yeast, almond oil and other essences, with certainly lower quality results than the excellent results achieved by the Poor Clares of Oristano.
