What is this Italian dish?

Arrosticini are a traditional Italian dish originating from the Abruzzo region, particularly popular in the mountainous areas. They are skewers of small pieces of lamb or mutton meat, typically cut from the castrated male sheep called "castrato." The meat is cubed and threaded onto skewers, then grilled over an open flame or charcoal until tender and slightly charred. Arrosticini are seasoned simply with salt, olive oil, and sometimes rosemary, allowing the natural flavors of the meat to shine through. They are often served with bread and accompanied by a glass of local red wine, showcasing the rustic and hearty cuisine of Abruzzo. Arrosticini are enjoyed as a traditional street food and are a symbol of local culinary pride in the region.
