The invention of the fork as we know it today is often attributed to the Italians, although there is evidence that primitive versions of forks were used in other, earlier cultures. The fork with several pointed tines was invented in Italy in the early 14th century. It was popularized by Marie de Médicis, who used it above all to enjoy pastries without staining her collar. At the time, the fork was considered a luxury item, used only by the rich and noble to serve elaborate dishes at banquets. The fork was slowly adopted in other parts of Europe over time, and became a common household item in the 18th century.
