Every region in Italy has it’s own bread tradition. This is because each part of Italy has it’s own type of wheat. Do you want an example? In Tuscany we do not put any salt in the bread. There is an historical reason for such a thing. Most areas in the inland Tuscany could not count on enough salt. Salt was the best way to preserve food. That’s why it was so important .
The translation of salt is sale. It might remind you the word: salary. In fact salt was so precious that people were paid in salt.

In most part of Italy there is salt in the bread. Many non-Tuscan Italians say that Tuscan bread is boring. I do not agree and then, it’s delicious, combined with salty cold cuts (prosciutto, salame, pecorino). Tuscany is big at prosciutto, salame, pecorino.
