I went to a restaurant in Florence last week and ordered an antipasto platter. The menu just said “assortment of cured meats.” One of them was absolutely delicious and almost seemed to melt in my mouth. It wasn’t spicy at all, tasted a little similar to corned beef or maybe head cheese? I can’t figure out what it was and if it is available in the US. Any ideas? (Second photo isn’t mine, stolen from a google review from the same restaurant).

testa in cassetta, delicious
That should be a type of salami called ‘soppressata’

head cheese it is, exactly – recipes vary mostly in spices and flavorings used, including fennel, lemon or even orange zest, parsley, garlic, allspice, black pepper and more.
