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.

[…] 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.

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.
