This recipe originates in the Italian region of Marche. It is a mountainous place which extends from the eastern coast to the inland of Appennini, where its woods and wilderness call for earthy recipes and gutsy flavors. This heavily loaded savory 'panettone', is the very symbol of the end of Lent, when, after a long fast, came the time to enjoy rich meals in honor of Christ's resurrection. It is traditionally eaten with eggs - a symbol of Easter, and cold cuts.
