Large airy egg biscuits whose island names — pistoccus, pistokkus, pistoccheddus — descend directly from the Latin biscoctus. The etymology alone earns them their plate in this atlas.
Sardegna
Where the very name of the biscuit — pistoccu — descends from biscoctus, and the savoiardo grew to giant size.
The giant savoiardo of Fonni in the Barbagia, with its own official regional product sheet: a biscuit with paperwork.
Raisin-walnut-sapa lozenges under white glaze, baked across the whole island for All Saints — baked for All Saints, as much of Italy bakes for its dead in early November. Papassa is the raisin.
Anise sponge loaves reported to be sliced and re-toasted — which would make them a true twice-bake. Held at Class B until we confirm the technique against the regional register.

The atlas cites Italian primary and regional sources throughout. Claims resting on tradition rather than documents are phrased as claims; entries awaiting confirmation say so on their face.
