One of the specialities of Lugano is the cake of bread (the original name is torta di pane), ever available at the folk festivals. Here is the recipe.
Ingredients: 
300 gr of stale bread
5 cookies “amaretto”
1 litre of milk
a few salt
a whole lemon
150/200 gr of sugar
one spoon of cacao
a glass of grappa
200 gr of raisins
1 gr of vanilla
50 gr of cedar
50 gr of pine nuts
butter
Leave the bread in the hot milk for 4 hours (or all the night), then mince it and add the other ingredients - except peanuts and butter. Pour the compound in a buttered baking tin. Cover with the pine nuts and cook in the oven for 2 hours and a half. Then sprinkle with 50 gr of sugar.

HI! I just wanna suggest that this cake is also nice if we had some amaretti biscuits and a sliced apple in the mixture of ingredients...you don't believe me?? I promise you to make this "version" before the end of lessons....
Cheers!
I have just a very short remark: hmm,I became hungry!..
The receipe sounds easy to make. I would like to try also Silvia´s version (see comments) with apple and biscuits, and please don´t forget to let me taste when any of you have time for baking this cake.:)
Thanks in advance
