This sandwich usually consists of a rosette or turtle and is stuffed, in that order, with tuna, capers, salami and provolone. It is often prepared with the addition of giardiniera. In Alberobello, however, it is widely believed that this sandwich was invented by Pasquale Dell'Erba, then the owner of a delicatessen in front of which he used to meet some of his friends. It was precisely these dear friends of his who began each time to make a Pasqualino.
