Florence's Classic Easter Bread

Friday April 14, 2006
Pan di Ramerino is a Florentine Easter tradition, large chewy rolls (to give an idea of their size) delightfully flavored with rosemary and raisins. Though you'll now find Pan di Spagna in almost every bakery throughout the winter, in the past they were made on Maundy Thursday (the day before Good Friday), marked with the Cross, and sold by street vendors outside the churches.
