One day, the recipe for Panettone rolls into town…

The workshop on Via Chiesa begins making tiered wedding cakes, by now in high demand for ceremonies held by residents in town and in the province.

On Saturdays, Loison delivers cakes for up to 10 different weddings. Meanwhile, during Christmas season, Loisonintroduces some baked goods for the holidays, including meringues, zaletti and pevarini cookies. One of the specialties made by Loison back thenis brittle, consumed mainly at the local festivals and loved by children and adults alike. Holiday sweets are simple and scarce, until the day the recipe for Panettonecomes into the picture. The baking experimentsthat Alessandro makes to perfect the recipe, the dough and the leavening almost remind us of the Milanese legend behind the Pan de Toni, the sweet bread made at the court of Ludovico il Moro by a young servant who is considered to be the inventor of Panettone.
