: Over the last three decades Italian cuisine has gained in status as well a :
: fame. It is not only served at family-style eateries, ice cream parlors,   :
: and pizza shops: high-end Italian restaurants are now listed among the mos :
: prestigious establishments in major cities worldwide. TV shows and         :
: magazines are full of Italian recipes, and culinary professionals become   :
: celebrities, banking on their Italian origins. As Italian cuisine acquires :
: new relevance, scores of tourists flock to the epicenter of it all: Italy. :

: Southern Mediterranean fought against food scarcity, wars, invasions, and  :
: an environment that was often not very favorable to agriculture. With      :
: limited access to meat, dairy, and fats, they developed foodways that      :
: hinged on grains, pulses, and vegetables. It was only after the economic   :
: miracle" of the late 1950s that the majority of the Italian population was :
: able to afford a more diverse and abundant diet, albeit sacrificing        :
: traditional ways of life and culinary habits. New packaging and            :
: conservation techniques, industrial mass production, and more sophisticate :
: systems of transportation and distribution brought profound changes in the :
: way Italians ate and thought about food. Gradually, the rest of the world  :
: has become aware that the practices adopted by Italians constitute a       :
: healthy eating model, and its reputation has been growing exponentially    :
: ever since.                                                                :
