Veneziana is a sweet from the Lombard cuisine covered with sugar grains or almond icing.

[1] It is served in two versions: the bigger one is consumed during Christmas,[2] like panettone; the smaller one is eaten as breakfast, along with cappuccino, like croissants.

The history of veneziana is very similar to that of the panettone, which was created around 15th century.

[4] This sweet was once eaten during celebrations such as weddings and Christmas, while since the end of Second World War is considered a breakfast food.

Buondì, a popular snack in Italy, is the industrial version of veneziana.
