ITS DISPUTED ORIGIN

Savoiardi bisquits, eggs, marcarpone cheese, coffee, bitter cacao powder. We all know the ingredients of this fantastic treat.
What is not easy to know is the origin of its recipe: which region should get credit for inventing it is still a matter of dispute.
Does is come from Veneto or Friuli Venezia Giulia? The two Italian regions have been fighting over its paternity for decades.
