Tucked away in the hills above Verona, Italy, is a family-owned commercial bakery called Forno Bonomi that dates back to 1850. Ladyfingers, the egg-based sweet biscuits that are the foundation of that ever-so-popular desert known as Tiramisu, are one of Bonomi’s specialties. And while the ingredients used to produce these delicacies today haven’t changed a whole lot since the 1850s, the high-speed packaging systems recently installed by Renato Bonomi and his two brothers could hardly have been imagined by their 19th century ancestors.
