A tramezzino (Italian: [tramedˈdziːno] ; pl.: tramezzini) is an Italian sandwich consisting of two slices of soft white bread, with the crusts removed, usually cut in a triangle. Popular fillings include prosciutto, tuna, and olives, but many other fillings can be used. ^[1]

Etymology

The term tramezzino was coined by Gabriele D'Annunzio to replace the English word sandwich . ^[2] It is the diminutive of the word tramezzo, meaning 'in-between' (formed with the addition of the suffix -ino).

History

The origin of the tramezzino can be found in the Caffè Mulassano in Piazza Castello, Turin, where it was devised in 1925 as an alternative to English tea sandwich. ^{[3] [4]}
