Italians are hard workers. Good people too. Where ever they go they built. In Colombia their contributions are in the statues, tiles, and bakeries. In fact, there is a famous bread called Pandebono.The history behind the name is that there was an Italian bread maker named Bono and everyone went to his bakery “ panaderia” for this tasty cheesy bread. El Pan de Bono🇮🇹
