Prosciutto crudo - cured ham - in Italian delicatessens.

On my recent trip to Italy I saw many Italian delis with lots of whole prosciutto (cured ham) legs hanging from the ceiling.

Prosciutto is an Italian dry-cured ham that is usually thinly sliced and served uncooked.  This style is called prosciutto crudo in Italian (or simply crudo) and is distinguished from cooked ham, prosciutto cotto.

Prosciutto is made from either a pig's or a wild boar's hind leg or thigh, and the base term prosciutto specifically refers to this product. Prosciutto may also be made using the hind leg of other animals, in which case the name of the animal is included in the name of the product, for example "prosciutto cotto d'agnello" ("lamb prosciutto"). The process of making prosciutto can take from nine months to two years, depending on the size of the ham.
