The traditional Italian breakfast usually follows later, after the first short refreshment in the morning. With this, Italians usually take espresso to wake up and a little something like biscuits or pretzels. But if you want a full Italian breakfast, you can simply take the typical local dishes, which are usually eaten some time after you wake up.

Typical for breakfast in Italy

• Italians usually eat a lot of white bread such as tramezzini, ciabatta, bun and sweet croissants - so-called cornetti. Tramezzini is a type of white bread, similar to toast bread. Ciabatta is the well-known baguette bread that is eaten with a lot of olive oil so that the somewhat harder crust can be softened. For a typical Italian breakfast, these types of bread should be ready. The aforementioned olive oil can often be found at breakfast. You can drizzle it on the bread or dip it in it.

• The well-known Parma ham is usually placed on top of the bread. In every village, no matter how small, you can find shops selling this ham in many varieties.
