Schiscetta is a dialect word, typically from Milan, that refers to the lunchbox used to bring the homemade lunch to university, or even to work.

Loved by many, hated by others (especially by the laziest students), the Schiscetta is a great university partner, that will be with you in the happiest and darkest moments, but especially in those of hunger!
