Her Majesty. Crostata

Cross is a favorite cake in any Italian family, and not just for breakfast. Her most popular option is crostata alla marmellata (crustà ala marmelà). Here you can develop your imagination and imagine any types of sweet or marmalades: apricots, peaches, berries, oranges (with a slight burning taste), raspberries, strawberries and whatnot.
