My fiance lived in Italy for two years while he was serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints. He grew very attached to the people there. He grew to love them, care for them and immersed himself in the culture. On of the biggest parts of the culture in Italy is the food. Meals are very important to Italians. Their Italian food is completely different from American Italian food. It is actually a lot lighter. It may not be authentic Italian food but it is pretty close. You can mix up the ingredients if you want to but it is filling and yummy.
