Baci chocolates, literally translating as 'kisses', are an Italian icon - and now the sweets are celebrating the country's dialects. Each chocolate comes wrapped in small messages of love, like a romantic fortune cookie. This tradition based on the story of a chocolate-maker who supposedly sent romantic notes to a founder of the company the same way.

In fact, that's how the sweets got their name - previously, they had been called 'cazzotti' (punches), a somewhat less romantic moniker due to the round shape. The sayings already come translated into five languages (Spanish, French, English, Chinese, and Portugues) but now, as part of a special edition of Baci, the notes will be written in some of Italy's dialects to celebrate regional sayings.
