A curious culinary legend is linked to the famous executioner Pantoni, who lived in Via Franco Bonelli in the 17th century. It is said, in fact, that the hostility of the people of Turin towards this state official was always manifest, even at the moment of shopping, so much so that in some shops they began to offer him a bowl full of water to wash the coins earned by killing people, while the baker, as a sign of disgust, began to offer him bread upside down. But Pantoni did not like this last treatment and complained to the authorities, who forbade the gesture. The bakers then produced a flat bread, in which there was no backhand and no fronthand. Legend has it that the 'pan dël boja' was later used to make pancarré.
