The perception is that Italians don't cook with lard, well.... there is a lot of pork, kind of the same thing?
In Connecticut we knew it as Ciccioli Bread (made with rendered pork and pork fat or pancetta) ...Half a loaf for lunch; hot and fresh from DiSorbos Bakery on Grand Ave!!!!! worth a few pounds!!!!

Also on this sandwich subject, has anyone else noticed that the good old italian bread I loved (its not good italian bread unless the crust scratches up the roof of your mouth) is nowhere to be found. It's all soft and limp!
