Tramezzino uovo e maionese: chopped hard-cooked egg bound with mayonnaise in a soft crustless triangle, the egg filling pared to two parts so the cooking has nowhere to hide.
Mayonnaise-bound egg salad threaded with a small, careful dose of cured anchovy, sealed in the soft crustless triangle Turin invented in 1925. The egg carries; the anchovy deepens.
The tuna triangle's half-step up: oil-packed tuna and chopped hard egg worked into one bound salad, where the yolk's job is to buffer the tin's salt. Named at Turin's Caffè Mulassano, 1925.
Mayonnaise-bound tuna under a single ripe summer tomato in a soft crustless triangle, and a race against the slice's own water: the case's wettest tonno filling, replaced twice a day in July.
A crustless white triangle of mayonnaise-bound tuna shot through with sliced olives, the green Sicilian cultivars sharp against the mild fish.
Oil-packed tuna worked with mayonnaise and threaded with quartered marinated baby artichokes, sealed in a soft crustless triangle. The artichoke is the green lift in a flat spread.
Smoked salmon laid in thin sheets against raw peppery rocket, bound and sealed inside the soft crustless triangle Turin invented in 1925. The leaf cuts the cured fat; the fish carries the bite.
Prosciutto cotto and a jar of funghi sott'olio, mounded into Venice's overstuffed bombata triangle and eaten standing in a bàcaro with a small glass of wine in the shade.
Cooked Italian ham and a mild meltable cheese, usually fontina or domestic emmental, layered cold into a soft crustless triangle. The deli pairing compressed onto bar bread.
Raw cured prosciutto crudo against oil-packed baby artichokes in a soft crustless triangle; long salt met by sharp herb, the dry cure given a vegetable counter.

Cold poached chicken diced into a curry-bloomed mayonnaise, mounded into a crustless soft-white triangle: the Italian bar's 1970s Anglo-import filling.
Caprese is three colours laid flat. This triangle is that build with the green pulled out, the basil leaf left in the box, and the whole character turns on the leaf that is not there.
A wooden tray of four, six, or eight crustless triangles, each a different filling, ordered by the count and shared between guests at aperitivo. The platter shape of the 1925 Turin form.
Lombard cow's-milk blue eased with mascarpone and folded with toasted walnut into a soft crustless triangle; a wet vein cheese tempered to fit a fragile crumb.
A cool pink-and-green triangle in the Veneto bar case: shrimp and ripe avocado bound with lemon mayonnaise in crustless pancarrè, the case's late-arrival entry.
The vegetarian slot in the Veneto bar case: cooked-down champignon <em>trifolati</em> and a mild meltable cheese in crustless pancarrè, no ham, no cured-pork salt anchor.
The tall one in the bar case: three slices of soft crustless bread, two filling layers, and a middle slice doing the structural work a club sandwich's centre slice does. Venice's stacked triangle.
Lean Valtellina cure draped on soft crustless white bread with a handful of peppery rocket, the Lombard tramezzino whose load-bearing seasoning is a leaf.
The central-Italian spelling of the egg tramezzino: chopped hard-cooked egg and mayonnaise in a soft crustless triangle, eaten in three bites at a Roman standing bar with an espresso.
Cold-smoked South Tyrolean speck folded into a soft crustless triangle; mountain cure inside lowland bread, the loudest filling in a quiet row.
