The Mediterranean has always been a place of encounter, exchange, and cross-fertilization between peoples, cultures, and traditions. This ongoing dialogue has left deep traces in the languages, customs, and above all in the cuisine of the lands that surround it. Due to its location and history, Italy has absorbed influences from all directions, building a rich and constantly evolving gastronomic identity over time. Today, amid globalization, migration, and new connections, Italian cuisine continues to transform, renewing tradition through techniques, ingredients, and visions that come from afar.
