De Gustibus, I prefer unsalted bread thick crusted, wood fired.
I'm not sure it's because of eating with salty stuff, cause bread with marmalade, hard chocolate, or chocolate spreads is absolutely common throughout italy, both where bread is salty and where it isn't.
It's probably true that bread in Italy is not designed as something you eat alone, which is why it's very plain compared to, say, Polish or German recipes.

On theory is that it's often eaten with other highly salted foods so things balance out.
But on its own... no thank you.
