The Mole Antonelliana, Turin

Chapter 12: Holiday Specialties

Location: Turin — The Mole Antonelliana

Turin’s Mole Antonelliana rises nearly 550 feet over the city — built as a synagogue, now a museum of cinema, and about as unmistakable a skyline marker as Italy has outside Rome or Pisa. It’s a fitting close for this book’s savory-and-sweet holiday chapter: a city that reinvents its landmarks the way this chapter reinvents its recipes.

Panettone, Easter pie, Struffoli, a Christmas lasagna — eight dishes tied to specific days on the Italian calendar, each rebuilt to stay on the keto table when the holiday comes around.

Recipes in This Chapter

Note: Keto Panettone also appears in Chapter 10 (Desserts) and is not repeated here.

That closes all twelve chapters — from the Colosseum to the Mole Antonelliana. One last stop before Arrivederci: the Conclusion.
