Traditional Neapolitan Easter Bread Casatiello vs Tortano

The Neapolitan Easter Bread Casatiello is a rustic bread sumptuously rolled and filled with an assortment of leftover cold cuts, such as bacon, mortadella, and ham, alongside a variety of cheeses, including provola, mozzarella, and pecorino. The circular shape of the bread is evocative of a crown of thorns, while the whole eggs placed on top of the Casatiello symbolize the resurrection of Christ.
