its really not just a simple roast pork sandwich as far as Campli is concerned ...there is a whole history behind it that pre dates roman times and even a breed of pigs...
it still goes on and the festival that they hold is renowned throught Italy... if not beyond... well i am trying
heres two links...because there is a lot of it to read

the above deals with the whole history of it and is detailed ...however you need italian... the english version doesnt seem to work yet
the next link is to the sagre
it also contains the histroy and other general info
