... that the creation of the traditional Valtellina Christmas sweet bread bisciola is credited to Napoleon, even though he was never in the region? Source: "According to legend, the dessert was invented by Napoleon who, in 1797, ordered his cook to prepare a sweet using the ingredients of the territory. ... And so, the Bisciola was born. Unfortunately, though, Napoleon never made it to Valtellina. In all probability, the Bisciola is a much more ancient cake recipe" Pandolce and Bisciola: Two (Lesser-Known) Italian Christmas Sweets

Interesting traditional bread, on good sources, Italian sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The hook works for me, but someone else might want to state the Christmas connection explicitly. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:57, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh right, that was the point of nominating it for the Christmas DYK set...I've amended the hook to add 'Christmas'. Mind matrix 22:32, 17 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
