To say that bread is an important part of the Italian daily-life and culture would be a huge understatement! There was just an interesting statistic on RAI Television: 4 out of 5 Italians will buy bread and eat bread every day. In fact, when you go to most any restaurant, they will usually charge you a "pane e coperto", a service charge for the "bread and cover" for preparing the table, which of course includes some fresh bread to enjoy. Depending on the place, it usually runs a few Euros per person. Oddly enough, the dark bread is still not as popular in Italy, despite its health benefits. Look at all the words that derive from bread

I agree, it is the best
thanks for the comment. Yes, the French are very fond of their bread. And believe it or not, the Cuban culture as well.
Yes, it would be a great business to open in Italy, as the demand will definitely be there! Especially if you could learn from one of the artisans.
Have a great day!
