A heap of arugula and creamy stracchino or burrata are just the beginning.

Eat like an Italian with this cheese and ham flatbread
Serious Binge Eating / Kevin White
One of the highlights of my time in Italy years ago was enjoying countless piadine. The sandwich which originated in the Emilia-Romagna region is a popular street food in Italy. The large round toasted flatbread folded over a handful of fresh vegetables with a modest amount of thinly sliced cold cuts and/or cheese can also be found at Italian gas stations and cafes. Although it’s meant to be taken on the go I like to take my time savoring this crescent-shaped sandwich. It’s just too good to eat.
Admittedly it's a bit misleading to describe a piadina as a "sandwich"—at least as we typically define a sandwich in the United States. Certainly both American sandwiches and Italian piadine (the plural of piadina) are portable meals in which savory contents are sandwiched between layers of bread but otherwise their identities are quite different.
