I figure since you bumped this thread though, I would post my two attempts at making the Rustic Italian bread that redforever. I'll just say this, the second loaf came out way better than the first!
Thanks to redforever for all of the useful tips. If anybody was on the fence about trying one of these recipes, give this Rustic Italian bread a try. The hardest part was the waiting between each proofing.

I thought it was quite amazing the job that Komskies did. We exchanged some notes, he sent me more detailed pictures, I sent some more suggestions, and his second loaf came out much better than his first.
The best thing was, he recognized on his own, some of the things that probably could be improved upon with his first loaf.
Actually, I think he is trying to impress someone at his office

))) He had wanted to make this bread for a potluck at his office.
The bread is not the only thing he took to the potluck. He asked me if I could send along some cookie recipes, which I did. He made two batches of cookies as well. I never saw pictures of the second recipe he used, but he did send me some pictures of the first recipe and they turned out amazing...pretty well perfect first time around.
