Pâinea care se făcea o singură dată pe an și trebuia să reziste luni întregi. Ritualul vechi al oamenilor de la poalele Muntelui Rosa

In a village in northern Italy, bread was traditionally baked once a year, providing essential winter supplies for the Walser community. This practice involved families preparing large quantities of bread in the fall, which was then dried and stored for months. The Walser, a Germanic community, settled in Macugnaga in the 13th century, adapting to harsh winters by preserving food. The annual baking session was a communal event, fostering social ties and solidarity, with specific rituals for sharing the bread. Although the tradition has evolved, some communal ovens remain, and local bakers now reinterpret Walser bread using traditional methods and ingredients.
