Perugina, the iconic Italian chocolate brand, is opening a boutique in the heart of Rome. The original Baci chocolates (“kisses” in Italian) have remained virtually unchanged since they were invented more than nine decades ago.
The small, hazelnut-filled chocolates were created in Umbria in 1922 by an Italian lady called Luisa Spagnoli as a way of using up leftover hazelnuts.
