"This is a crumbly cake -- Sbrisolona means crumbly -- from Mantova, in the Pianura Padana. It's a very traditional cake, dating from the time when few could afford the ingredients of richer cakes or pastries, and has the added bonus of keeping well. It was also a Christmas favorite."

these are some of the varieites on display, a few of which were also for sale on another stall.
