Like the subtleties of the oft-mentioned croque-monsieur or
croque-madame? :-)

Croque monsieur is bread whit cheese over. A sort of italian crostini.
To make "crostini" : slices of bread (of the day before) wet in milk.
Slices of mozzarella. Butter and anchovies for the sauce. Put in the oven
and brown.
Very good.

Croque Monsieur is French. See - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croque-monsieur

It is rather more than that. Here is a nice, illustrated recipe, in
Italian:

Nope. Crostini are simpler and different.

Croque-monsieur and its permutations are better compared to the Italian
toast/tost (coppia di fette di pane tostate con formaggio e prosciutto),
panini caldi a base di formaggio e prosciutto, or, as they are called at
some places, pierini con formaggio e prosciutto caldi.

And here is a nice "cheesy" article (in English):
