An iron statue of Nievo’s ”Spaccafumo”.

He was the baker of Cordovado, described by Ippolito Nievo in “Confessions of an Italian” as a man who “had been gloriously given that nickname since he was mighty fast when chased”.

Nowadays, it is also an energy-rich artisan cake made of dried figs, raisins, walnuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, almonds, arancini and honey.
