Italy is raising a glass and saying “salute” after becoming the first country in history to have an entire cuisine added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list.

I think what makes italian food so special coming from an American is that it emphasizes fresh ingredients. This is why american italian food can never match real italian
italian food deserves all the recognition, love it
