Set the scene.
Old Bakery Street’s name is linked to the Order’s bakery. The French name Rue des Fours and the later Strada Forni carried the oven connection too.

The words changed language while retaining a practical association. Street history is sometimes about work and supplies rather than famous people.
Why it still matters.
A name can preserve a building’s memory after the building itself changes or disappears. That is why old signs and maps are useful evidence.
