The history of Pane di Pasqua dates back centuries, to the time when Christianity was first spreading throughout Europe. In Italy, the celebration of Easter was (and still is) a time of great importance, and food played a central role in the festivities.

It is believed that Pane di Pasqua was created as a way to celebrate the end of the Lenten fast, which traditionally forbids the consumption of rich and indulgent foods.
