Etymology
The term tramezzino was coined by Gabriele D'Annunzio to replace the English word sandwich.[2] It is the diminutive of the word tramezzo, meaning 'in-between' (formed with the addition of the suffix -ino).
History
The origin of the tramezzino can be found in the Caffè Mulassano in Piazza Castello, Turin, where it was devised in 1925 as an alternative to English tea sandwich.[3][4]
