The cremino is a type of chocolate consisting of three layers of chocolate, the outer ones of gianduja chocolate and the inner chocolate paste to coffee, lemon or hazelnut typically to form a cube then wrapped in a film of aluminum with a clamp of paper bearing the mark of the manufacturer.

This chocolate was invented in the late nineteenth century by Ferdinando Baratti who had opened a distillery with partner Edward Milan-Turin confectionery as "Baratti & Milano" However, the first official documents date back only to 1934.

Cremino is also linked to the automaker FIAT who in 1911 launched a competition between the chocolatiers of Italy to create a new chocolate at the launch of the new model type 4. The competition was won by Majani Bologna, before the chocolate company founded in Italy in 1796, which created a cremino with four instead of three layers, the layers composed of dark chocolate gianduja and light ones from chocolate with almond paste.

This airport is always crowded, noisy and dirty. The floors and ceilings seem to be made up of materials from the 1950s’ even though the Terminal 1 started operations in the 1990s’. Food served in the restaurant is terrible, of very expensive, or both. This is the only airport I have heard of where from time to time expensive items disappear from the checked bags of arriving passengers.

The design is typical of the “Memphis Group”  producti
