There’s a reason celebrated poet Shel Silverstein wrote a happy-go-lucky poem all about Italian food.To us foreigners, Italy is the land of cannolis and mobsters, bucolic landscapes and villas, and Italians and good wine.We idealize all of Italy for all of these traits rightly so-- and we often forget that each Italian province has its own internal culture, logic, and charm. From Abruzzo to Umbria, Calabria to Tuscany, each Italian state has its own enclave of culture, secrets, and scrumptious local cuisine. In the wise words of the great American playwright Truman Capote, “Venice is like having an entire box of chocolate liquers in one go.” He’s so right-- because Venice is different than Ancona is different than Genoa.The point? Visit them all! Eat pizza in Naples. Snack on olive ascolane in Ancona. Indulge in tortellini in Bologna. Pop carciofi alla giudìa in Rome. The list goes on and on.Buon appetito!
