The predecessor of biscotti Camporelli was the biscottini di Novara, created by the nuns of the area and given to the clergy as gifts. [3] Biscotti Camporelli was developed by Luigi Camporelli in Novara in 1852, resuming the previous tradition and commercializing it, selling it in the family bakery.
