The story

Giuseppina Luini moved from Puglia to Milan with her family in 1949 and opened a bakery on Via Santa Radegonda, bringing the panzerotto, a half-moon of dough stuffed with tomato and mozzarella, and fried or baked, to the city. Three generations later the queue still snakes along the street behind the Rinascente department store. The city of Milan has honoured the family with its Ambrogino d'Oro award.
