Thanks very much for giving us this opportunity to ask you some questions about Italy and its cuisine.

I'm specially interested in the differences between the cuisines you can find in Italy's regions, and which would be the major cooking styles that you would identify and their main characteristics.

Thanks again.

Ciao Pedro

Your question is very complex, since each region, and it seems each village and town, has its own cuisine, dishes, wines. But the big divide for me is the mountains that separate Emilia from northern Tuscany, defining the northern, more European Italian butter users from the coastal and southern, more Mediterranean extra virgin users.

a presto
