Every night Hugh came out of her window to get into the garden and climb over the wall. He lived in that beautiful house that his father, the canvas or Atellani Giacomotto, had received a gift from Ludovico il Moro, as one of his captains. Even today this house there, right in Corso Magenta, next to the Basilica of Santa Maria delle Grazie. Hugh had to reach the workshop of Toni, the baker, where he met his Adalgisa. It was a secret love, actually opposed by her family. Adalgisa, however, was tired lately: the work had increased since the boy was sick Toni.
Ugo did not want to give up the meetings with Adalgisa clothes and presented himself humble, he was the falconer
of Ludovico il Moro, came as a new take on the baker's apprentice.
Despite the help, the business of the shop continued to deteriorate due to the opening of a new
shop nearby.
Ugo lost no time, stole a pair of hawks to the Moor and sold them to buy some butter. At night, while kneading the usual ingredients, the preparation also added all the butter is purchased. The next day the shop was assaulted and already talking like the most delicious bread in Milan. In the days after two other hawks were sacrificed for the purchase of additional butter and a bit 'of sugar to be added to the mixture of bread. Toni became the bread special. As winter approached, the best deals and Hugh and Adalgisa could again think of a future to go along.
Under the Christmas holidays, Hugh decided to enrich the recipe for "special bread" by adding eggs, bits of candied citron and raisins. All Milan arrived to the shop to buy what was the "pangrande" or "pan del Toni" (hence the term panettone), to serve on the table during the day of celebration. Toni became rich and therefore the love between Ugo and Adalgisa was also approved by the family Atellani. The young couple were married and lived happily ever after.

Another legend says that the court of Ludovico il Moro, like every Christmas, he served for the Duke and his guests, a sumptuous banquet. The head chef kept everything under control and instructed the many submitted to the stove and table service. The dishes were distributed maintaining proper breaks between course and the next, ending with a wonderful dessert. The chef personally oversaw the mixture, whose secret recipe was handed down from father to son in his family for centuries. The Lord of Milan would be left amazed by this wonder of the palate.

Desperate to cook up a chair and sank began to cry softly.
