An Italian Classic: Panettone

In 1817, in the heart of Milan's Galleria, Cova began baking panettone — a golden, fragrant tradition passed down through generations. Today, that same Italian craftsmanship arrives at Matild Palace, Budapest, bringing the warmth of Milanese holidays to the banks of the Danube this season.
