Cultural Note
Italian breakfast is famously light and sweet: a cornetto (croissant) and a cappuccino or espresso, often standing at a bar counter. Savory breakfasts are almost unheard of in traditional Italian culture. 'Fare colazione' means to have breakfast, using 'fare' rather than a verb like 'eat.'
