The roof is constructed on a wooden framework running around the walls, with a space for the chimney.

The chimney has been built tall enough for the smoke to be drawn away. Before that, the baker or pizza-man was sure to finish the day "smoked".

Roof is then covered with boards, fixed to the framework.
