Italian: Buccellato di Lucca is an Italian sweet bread, originating from Lucca, Tuscany.[1] [2] While eaten throughout the year, it is associated with the Feast of the Cross in September.

The name derives from the Latin Latin: buccella . The ancient Roman Latin: buccellatum was a round loaf of bread. The modern Italian: buccellato di Lucca retains its original ring shape, and is widely found on Luccan tables as a sweet Sunday treat, carried home on the forearm after attending Mass. It is also found in elongated shape.

Italian: Buccellato di Lucca's sweet flavor, dark brown color, and gloss result from a sugar and egg glaze applied to the crust. There is a slight cut on the upper crust to facilitate the cake's rising. The interior is soft, filled with sultana raisins and aniseed.

197 bakeries in Lucca produce Italian: buccellato di Lucca. It is often consumed with wine, Vin Santo, cream and coffee, ricotta, or rum. It may be eaten at breakfast.
