I'm having troubles finding a recipe for donuts that would have been used in the 1930s in Italy. Hoping this subreddit can help me out!
Edit: I'm trying to recreate a donut from Italy in the video game India a Jones and the Great Circle. Here's an image from the game: https://share.google/images/0w6pQb2tDHn5XZyGb
The game is pretty good about respecting culture but specifically used the word donut.

Yum, if you find some, let me know!
Could it be zeppole?
Can you describe how they look?
Were they filled? Bomboloni are a type of Italian filled doughnut:

In European cookery books, it would have been spelt “doughnuts”
My Italian grandmother, who was an adult in the 30s, made donuts with bread dough, sprinkled with sugar after frying.
