Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the ciabatta bread loaf in half horizontally and place it on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Brush the cut sides of the bread with olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic.
Bake the bread in the oven for 5 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
On the bottom half of the ciabatta bread, layer the provolone cheese, salami, capicola, ham, and pepperoni.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper to make a flavorful spread.
Spread the mayonnaise mixture evenly across the top half of the ciabatta loaf.
Layer the shredded lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, and banana peppers on top of the meats and cheese.
Place the top half of the bread over the sandwich fillings and press gently.
Cut the sandwich into 4 equal portions and serve immediately. Enjoy your Italian Wedgie Sandwich!
