Let’s talk FOOD!! • The most important thing to know about food from Italy is that it is not simply ‘Italian’ but ‘REGIONALE’ (regional). • Different regions in Italy are individually famous for their own signature dishes, the ingredients they use and the inspirations for their favourite meals. • Food in Italy is more than just something which you eat to stay alive and healthy, but is more a way of life, a luxury and a part of Italian culture.
