You have to cut it in thin slices and eat them. Usually to enhance the savour I put the slices over pieces of bread.

Pancetta coppata or pancetta arrotolata, to be sliced thinly and consumed with a slice of durum wheat bread and a glass of red wine

That is a Pancetta, a cured meat made from the pig, you can look it up on Wikipedia to know more.
You can slice it and eat it as it is, you don’t need to cook it. You can eat it in a sandwich with some hard cheese (Grana Padano), or prepare a plate with different cured meats (pancetta, prosciutto crudo, salame), some jam and some cheese, with a glass of wine, to eat before lunch (this is an Aperitivo)

Looks like [this stuff](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancetta), it’s cured prok belly, the same stuff as streaky bacon with a different curing technique. It looks round because it’s the “rolled” variant.
If you remove the outer layer and slice it thin it should be edible raw, else you can cut it in slices or little pieces and cook with it (always remove the outer layer).

It seems similar to pancetta/pork belly.
