Soppressata is one word for a dozen pressed salami, so the panino changes its meat at every regional line: Calabrian chilli, Lucano fennel, soft Veneto consa. The press is the only constant.
Soppressata molisana is Molise's pressed pork salame, lean cuts wiped with orange peel before curing, sliced thin onto a plain country roll. Even-tempered, citrus under the pepper.
Soppressata lucana is Basilicata's lean, fennel-led pressed salame, firmer and drier than its chilli-driven Calabrian neighbour, sliced thin on a plain southern loaf.
Soppressata di Calabria on a firm country loaf: a coarse pork salame pressed flat under stones, the chopped lean shouldered with visible lardons and shot through with chilli and red pepper.
Soprèssa Vicentina is the Veneto's large, soft, sweetly spiced salame, so wide one slice fills a roll and so tender it has to be cut a half-centimetre thick or it tears.
Slinzega is a small Valtellina muscle, often once horse, cured hard and fast in about a month and spiced heavy with clove and cinnamon, then sliced translucent for a plain Alpine roll.
Sandwich on sfilatino (thin baguette-style).
Scamorza (pear-shaped stretched-curd cheese, sometimes smoked) on bread.
Sandwich with sbriciolona (crumbly, coarse-ground Tuscan salami); breaks apart when sliced.
Fried sardines cured cold in a sweet-sour tangle of vinegared onions, raisins, and pine nuts, drained onto a crusted Venetian roll and eaten as a bàcaro cicchetto.
Palermo's sarde a beccafico in bread: sardines butterflied, stuffed with toasted breadcrumb, pine nuts and currants, rolled tail-up to mimic a roasted songbird, and baked with bay.
Not a single-meat roll but a board between bread, a mixed selection of Norcia's cured pork answering each other, lean against fatty, mild against sharp. The salumi panino of the pork-butchery town.
Veal scaloppine with prosciutto and sage in butter-wine sauce on bread; classic Roman dish adapted.
Sardinian sausage (coarse-ground pork, often with wild fennel) on bread.
Grilled sausage with friarielli; the iconic Naples combination.
Horse meat sausage on bread.
Calabrian sausage is fresh, so its panino cooks the filling: a fennel-and-chilli link grilled to order, split into a roll wiped through the pan juices. The Calabrian pork sandwich that needs a fire.
Salsa tartufata, a dark truffle-and-mushroom paste, spread thin into a barely warmed panino. A dose of a fierce, fleeting aroma pre-measured and tamed in a jar.
The panino con salame Sant'Angelo carries the only Sicilian salame with a European mark, knife-cut to a coarse irregular grain, peppered, and cured in the damp air of the Nebrodi hills.
Salame mantovano leads with garlic steeped in Lambrusco before it touches the pork, a coarse soft cure from the humid Po plain, thick on a crusted roll. PAT status, no DOP yet.
Salame Felino stakes everything on doing less: pork minced medium, seasoned with garlic and pepper steeped in white wine, hand-tied, and shaved thin at the clarinet-beak angle on a quiet Parma roll.
Salame di Varzi DOP cut thick on the bias: lean and fat in large pieces, a mild sweet cure from the damp Oltrepò hills, on a plain roll picked to leave the softness room.
A Piedmontese salame built on the lean, dark, faintly grassy beef of an end-of-career dairy cow, bound with pork fat and cured in the high Valli di Lanzo above Turin.
Cooked salami; Piedmontese specialty.
