After the panettone 'boom', the colomba arrives to make a place for itself on Easter tables. The bun, of Italian origin and shaped like a dove, appeared to extend the same preparation that is typical for Christmas.

Colomba has an easy translation from Italian to Catalan, colom (dove) and its preparation is very similar to that of panetone, if not the same, but with a different shape, that of this bird with liturgical symbolism of Christian Easter.
