Italian cooking is famous the world over and is the oldest cuisine in the world. It is derived from ancient Roman and Greek gastronomic traditions. Some of the dishes around today, such as polenta, are almost exact copies of meals prepared for Roman soldiers about 2000 years ago. Germanic invasions modified Roman meals and customs, and the Renaissance period introduced more refined tastes into the various regions of Italy. Marco Polo and other Italian travelers made journeys to the Far East and brought back new spices and exotic foods. Pasta, a staple food for most Italians, appears to be a wheat version of the rice noodles found across Asia, so perhaps this was also an idea brought back by the Italian merchants.

Everyone has heard of spaghetti, pizza, and macaroni; and then there are Italian wines such as Chianti. Other Italian national foods are grissini (breadsticks) from Piedmont, mortadella (salami) from Bologna and il parmigiano (parmesan cheese) mainly from Parma.
