Rossana is an Italian candy, formerly known as Rossana Perugina. It is considered one of the most famous candies produced in Italy.[1]

History

Rossana was created in 1926 by Perugina, as a tribute to Roxane, Cyrano de Bergerac's lover. In 2016, Nestlé, which had owned Perugina since 1987, sold the brand to the company Fida.

Rossana was the favourite candy of statesman Giulio Andreotti.[2]

Varieties

In 2018, "Rossana Chocolat" was launched. In 2019, a cream-filled version was produced, sold in 200g jars and made using the confectionery's filling.

In May 2022, "Rossana pistachio," a green confectionery with Sicilian pistachios, was launched, followed in March 2023 by "Rossana coco," a gluten-free variant.[3]
