Conoscevo già la squisitezza dei prodotti da forno di Beniamino Bazzoli, e oramai sono i miei fornitori fissi di colombe e panettoni, faccio volentieri la strada da Brescia a Odolo per rifornirmi. Non conoscevo ancora la loro gentilezza, squisita come i loro prodotti, che mi permetterà di festeggiare la Pasqua con le mie figlie anche se a distanza.
