PASTRY SHOPS<br />

Pino Buttiglieri is the current owner of this cake shop in the center of Chieri. He likes<br />

to tell the story of the Umbertino, still on sale today, a soft amaretto scented with<br />

Sicilian oranges which, it is said, was invented by the owner at the time for a reception<br />

in honor of Prince Umberto of Savoy on a visit to the city. A recent invention, created to<br />

commemorate the bicentenary of the birth of Don Bosco, is a chocolate named after him<br />

made with plain chocolate and a soft center of absinthe cream. The chocolates, wrapped<br />

in artemisia-colored paper, can be bought in a gift box with period views of the city. Classic<br />

specialties are focaccia chierese, excellent brut e bun, gentianella with almonds and baci<br />

di Chieri (with hazelnut cream or rum). Last but not least, there’s Perché, a large chocolate<br />

filled with hazelnut paste and amaretto.<br />
