Usage Note

Finanziera is a classic Piedmontese dish made with offal, sweetbreads, and mushrooms in a wine sauce; it also names a type of frock-coat jacket (giacca finanziera). Note it is NOT the feminine of the adjective finanziario — that form is finanziaria (la legge finanziaria = the budget law). Context decides between the culinary and sartorial senses.
