1808 December 26, Ugo Foscolo, [untitled letter]; published in “154. Al medesimo, a Milano - Pavia, lunedì 26 dicembre 1808 [154 - To the same [Ugo Brunetti], in Milan (Pavia, Monday 26 December 1808)]”, in Epistolario di Ugo Foscolo [Letters of Ugo Foscolo], volume 1, Florence: Felice Le Monnier, 1852, page 190:

[…] today we celebrated: mister Cattaneo, and professor Mangili, have had lunch with us: and we, through the ritual of our forefathers, have cut up a roasted chicken, and shared out the panettone to our guests.

PANETTONE, pane grande fatto per lo più con pasta assai lievitata fatta con fior di farina, entrovi uova, zucchero e burro, uve di Smirne, cedro, pistacchio e altro.

[1868, Giacinto Carena, “Panettone”, in Nuovo vocabolario italiano d’arti e mestieri, 1ˢᵗ Milanese edition, Milan: Francesco Pagnoni, page 342:

Panettone - large bread chiefly made with long-leavened dough made with top-quality flour, inside of which [are] eggs, sugar, and butter, sultana, citron, pistachio, and more.

Se proprio vuoi che io riceva qualche cosa da te per Natale, data la possibilità concessa, ti prego di essere molto parca e limitata. […] Se vuoi sapere i miei desideri, eccoli: un po’ di panettone e, se è possibile, qualche vasetto di quell’estratto concentrato di brodo vegetale che una volta mi mandasti.

1932 December 12, Antonio Gramsci, [untitled letter]; published in Antonio Santucci, editor, Antonio Gramsci - Lettere dal carcere [Antonio Gramsci - Letters from prison], volume 2, Cles: Editrice L'Unità S.p.A., 1988 February 14:

[…] If you want to know my wishes, here they are: a bit of panettone, and—if it is possible—a few jars of that concentrated vegetable broth extract you once sent to me.

Il segreto di un buon panettone è dunque nella lievitazione, rigorosamente naturale (niente lieviti chimici) e nel doppio impasto.

2004, Dino Galiazzo, “Panettone”, in La guida del consumatore [The consumer's guide], Novara: De Agostini, →ISBN, page 377:

The secret of a good panettone is therefore in the strictly natural leavening (no chemical yeast), and the double kneading.

Negli anni ’80 Nicola sfornò i primi duemila panettoni artigianali. Oggi, nel laboratorio di duemila metri quadrati (mille per la produzione, altrettanti per il confezionamento), lavorano circa 130 persone nei periodi di massima produzione a Natale 2019 sono stati sfornati (e venduti) più di un milione di chili di panettoni.

Alternatively, from the dialectal Arabic word in Maltese farfett, Tunisian Arabic فرططو/فرفطو (farṭaṭṭu/farfaṭṭu), which is from Berber; compare Kabyle aferṭeṭṭu (“butterfly, moth”). Forms with a second -f- are apparently attested within Berber as well, but are at any rate explainable. For the -ll-, the Arabic emphatic [tˤ] could easily have been interpreted by southern Italians as their retroflex [ɖ] and then replaced with the cognate [l] as the word moved northwards (compare Sicilian beddu versus Italian bello).
