Maybe because it's meant for dipping in seasoned olive oil?

Long ago the ruling class imposed a tax on salt when there had previously been none. The citizens rebelled and the bakers decided they would not use salt in their bread - therefore they wouldn't pay the tax. The tax was eventually lifted but they kept the no salt bread-it sure is good!

Because they eat better than we do in america! Ages back, italy suffered from hunger...bread and pasta were the cheapest things to make. without salt, all you need is flour and water and yeast. however, you can get bread in italy with salt in it, just ask for ''pane salata'' and they'll give you a choice. Pugliese bread is salted, and so is ciabatta.
