A report by Studio Aperto Mag on August 28 introduced national audiences to the new Bolognese specialty, recently awarded the prestigious De.Co. certification.

Pane del Reno continues its journey of promotion and recognition, hitting national television screens across Italy. Studio Aperto Mag, the popular Italia 1 feature show dedicated to local heritage stories and Italian excellence, recently spotlighted this new flagship of the Bolognese baking tradition.

The cameras took viewers behind the scenes into local bakeries to show how Pane del Reno comes to life, capturing the care, precision, and craftsmanship behind every single step of the baking process. It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase not just a product, but the incredible artisanal skill and daily dedication that make it all possible.

At the heart of the feature lies the true strength of this supply chain: a perfect union of local roots, quality raw ingredients, and professional craft. It restores bread to its rightful place as a key symbol of identity, deeply woven into Bolognese food culture.

The recent De.Co. (Denominazione Comunale) status marks another major milestone. Born from a shared initiative among bakers across Bologna and its province, Pane del Reno was created to revive and celebrate local tradition. The result is a signature loaf that tells the story of the land through an everyday staple.

With its feature on national television, Studio Aperto Mag has helped take this story well beyond provincial borders, shining a spotlight on the bakers’ mastery, the quality of the bread, and the value of keeping production local.

It’s a project growing stronger by the day—winning over dining tables across Bologna and catching the eye of anyone looking to taste an authentic slice of local tradition. Pane del Reno is truly a loaf that tells the story of Bologna through the passion of those who bake it.
