Spaghetti with meatballs and garlic bread? That’s not what Italians eat. “Italian food” as we imagine it doesn’t really exist: what exists are twenty distinct regional cuisines, shaped by different climates, micro-geographies, history and tradition.
In this video we travel through Italy region by region, from the butter and cream of the north to the olive oil, tomatoes and bold flavors of the south, and see why a dish from one region can be completely unknown in the next.
