Tramezzino alla Bresaola
Air-cured Italian alpine beef sliced almost to glass, draped into a crustless soft white triangle with nothing beside the cure. The Lombard bresaola plate stripped of its leaf.

A composed Piedmontese plate, cold poached veal under tuna-anchovy sauce, picked up whole and folded into soft crustless bread. The dish is older than the triangle that carries it.
The unaugmented Italian bar triangle: drained oil-packed tuna folded with mayonnaise, nothing else, pressed inside soft crustless pancarrè. The base every augmented tuna filling builds outward from.
The lean cooked-turkey reading of the Italian bar triangle: cold turkey breast in a lemon mayonnaise with a leaf of lettuce, sometimes a slick of cranberry or a mild cheese.
Cold-smoked Scottish or Norwegian salmon, sheer-sliced under a film of unsalted butter or cream cheese, in a crustless white triangle. The unadorned cured-fish reading on the 1925 Turin form.
Rare-cooked cold roast topside, sheer-sliced over a green caper salsa or a Dijon mayonnaise, inside a crustless white triangle. The cooked-beef cousin of the bresaola build.
Soft folded slices of steam-cooked Italian deli ham in a crustless soft white triangle, bound by a thin scrape of mayonnaise: the plain-cotto baseline of the Italian bar case.
The unaccented chicken filling on the 1925 Turin triangle: cold poached breast folded with a lemon-bright mayonnaise, no curry, no apple, no sultana, with a single crisp lettuce leaf.
Lombard mascarpone spread thick inside a crustless soft white triangle, paired with smoked salmon and cracked pepper, walnuts and honey, or anchovy.
Mayonnaise-bound picked crab with lemon and white pepper in a crustless white triangle, fresh Adriatic granceola in the Venetian bacaro or canned crab everywhere else.
Lombard DOP blue spread or crumbled into a butter bind, as the whole filling, inside a crustless white triangle. The cheese without nut, honey, or leaf, on the 1925 Turin form.
The plainest seafood reading of the tramezzino case: cool cocktail-style shrimp bound with mayonnaise, no avocado, no tomato tint, just shrimp and bind in a soft triangle.
The lightest reading on the bar case: marinated or cooked mushroom alone in the soft crustless triangle, no cheese, no ham, no cured-pork salt anchor in the build.
The meatless tramezzino: chopped marinated baby artichokes folded with mayonnaise into a crustless soft white triangle, with Parmigiano and lemon optional.
