“At Caffè Mulassano in Turin, a plaque reads: ‘In this establishment, in 1926, Mrs. Angela Demichelis Nebiolo invented the tramezzino'. This year therefore marks the centenary of an invention—but not that of the tramezzino. Because "Angela Demichelis Nebiolo, upon her return to Turin from a prolonged stay in the United States, likely popularized the American version of the sandwich, which had achieved its contemporary form in other countries as a result of the widespread availability of loaf bread, the rectangular loaf with a soft, white crumb that is ideal for this type of preparation. We did not invent the sandwich: we simply changed its name and claimed it as our own. In other words, we invented an invention". This is what Luca Cesari, a cuisine historian, wrote in a piece for Il Sole 24 Ore titled "Enough with sandwiches, I want the tramezzino!" "The term 'tramezzino', which may have been created by D'Annunzio, replaced'sandwich' in the 1920s as a result of the campaigns against foreign words. Foreign exoticisms, compelled to find a very Italian equivalent, resorted to solutions such as 'bevanda arlecchino' for cocktails, 'sciampagna' for champagne, and 'fin di pasto' for dessert. These terms were not as successful, in contrast to the fortunate 'tramezzino', which was able to replace other Anglicized forms, such as 'sanduiccio' and 'sanguiccio'. The sandwich, however, had arrived in Italy nearly a century earlier, possibly thanks to Francesco Chapusot, cook to Ralph D'Abercromby, British ambassador in Turin", who was the first to mention it in one of his recipe books in 1846. However, "the birth of the famous sandwich is due to the English aristocrat John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, and his passion for gambling. To avoid leaving the table, he had cold beef or ham served between two slices of buttered white bread. The idea was such a success that within a few years it had already conquered London, as evidenced by a city guide from 1772 and later by an English dictionary, which included its definition four years before Lord Sandwich’s death".
