Editing Croissant (section)

===Italy===
A cousin of the croissant is the [[Italian cuisine|Italian]] ''[[Cornetto (pastry)|cornetto]]'' (in the [[Central Italy|center]] and [[Southern Italy|south]]) or [[brioche]] (in the [[Northern Italy|north]]). These variants are often considered to be the same, but that is not completely true: the French version tends to be crispy, whereas an Italian ''cornetto'' or brioche is usually softer. Furthermore, the ''cornetto vuoto'' ({{literally|empty ''cornetto''}}) is commonly accompanied by variants with filling, which include ''crema pasticciera'' ([[custard]]), [[apricot jam]] or [[chocolate]] cream. They often come covered with [[powdered sugar]] or other toppings. ''Cornetto'' with [[cappuccino]] at the bar is one of the most common [[breakfast]]s in Italy.{{citation needed|date=December 2021}}
