Italy, a European country with a long Mediterranean coastline, has left a powerful mark on Western culture and cuisine. Its capital, Rome, is home to the Vatican as well as landmark art and ancient ruins.

Italian cuisine is renowned for its regional diversity and rich flavors, characterized by its emphasis on fresh, high-quality ingredients. It features a variety of dishes, including pasta, risotto, and pizza, often seasoned with olive oil, garlic, and herbs like basil and oregano. Each region offers its own specialties, such as the seafood dishes of the coastal areas, the hearty meats and cheeses of the north, and the tomato-based sauces of the south. Italian cuisine also includes a wide array of desserts, such as tiramisu and gelato, and is complemented by a tradition of wine-making, with each region producing its own distinct varieties.
