Stale Italian Bread is a type of bread that is made from flour, water, and salt. It is usually made with a combination of wheat and durum flour, and is often used in Italian cuisine. The term 'stale Italian bread' can also refer to two different types of Italian currency: the lira and the lire. The lira was the official currency of Italy from 1861 to 2002, while the lire was the currency of Italy from 1946 to 2002. Both currencies were replaced by the euro in 2002.
