The moment of breakfast has always sparked contrasting attentions and a series of commonplaces in daily consumption since time immemorial: those who prefer to skip it without remorse; those who refer to it as the “most important meal of the day”; those who adapt it to the rhythm of sporadic diets, and those who would like to repeat it endlessly in a Hobbit-style à la Tolkien’s. It is not a coincidence, therefore, that in the last decade, many signs of modern bakeries or cafés have sprouted, basing a large part of their offerings precisely on the morning appetites of their customers. Rome has experienced a long period of passive neglect on the subject in the past, but it is making up for it with interest through a burgeoning rise of establishments focusing exclusively on high-quality breakfasts that ride the prevailing trend. Seeking to highlight those who have believed in it and continue to do so regardless of passing fads, we want to showcase some of them in a logic of “new and renewed certainties” that have lifted the palate fate of Romans awake in an ideological journey between central and more peripheral districts of the Eternal City.
