The unity of Italy is called pasta.

United at the table.

I n recent weeks the unit runs a television commercial that shows people talking of Italy dialect and impossible to decipher, leaving astonished listener. Fortunately, we are Italian and especially when we put our feet under the table we understand each other very well and we can travel between our regions by simply changing the serving dish. As we are not attached to love of country, it is undeniable that, culinary speaking, we are born in a land blessed. Cooking is not all that difficult, but it's amazing how bad it is able to Anglo-Saxon and German, if you exclude a certain ability to barbecue, and opening tins of pre-packaged food to be heated in the microwave.

Our great good fortune, especially when confronted with foreign guests, is the pasta. As Caesar says Marks, "The Unification of Italy dreamed of by the fathers of the Renaissance is now called pasta, for it he has not paid a lot of blood, but much pummarola. Pasta is an easy dish to prepare for a foreigner, let alone for us Italians, from any region, we are masters of science in the kitchen. And then, just follow the instructions on the package, not a state secret! Although each of us has always Serbian few tricks to give this or that dish a personal touch. It can be said that the art of Italian cooking has contributed to the unification most of the boot of the book "Heart" or the same "Betrothed" and you know why? Reading was a thing to be rich, then they did only a small minority, while satisfying the palate made him both rich and poor, even if the poor in a minor way.

Before 1860, the macaroni were known only in Naples, but after the Thousand, pasta and tomatoes walked triumphantly across the peninsula, receiving a standing ovation by the citizens of each region, as they are fascinated by this dish of Arab origin . Before 1600 the Italian food was so poor that the Lombards were called "mangiarape" and the Neapolitan "eaters" and only after 1600 brought about the Neapolitan cuisine culinary revolution that led to the poem and replace vegetables with a dish of macaroni with cheese that allowed the city of Masaniello to survive even in times of crisis.

Before the unification of Italy our kitchen was under the influence of the foreign and especially French. In the "Leopard" the Prince of Salina decides to serve a mess of macaroni which appears to have been very successful. The writer Federico De Roberto Catania said that the Italian deputies immediately after the unification, eating noodles with clams, discuss the need to unify the Italian kitchens and agree that the macaroni, and rightly so, symbolize an Italian dining par excellence.

The pasta the first was produced only by hand, in the 1880s rose to the industry with the introduction of new machinery. Only 54 exist in Torre Annunziata pasta with ten thousand production workers. Other regions began to produce pasta, such as the company Agnesi of Genoa, who invented the packaging that allowed the export of Italian pasta in all countries the world. Spaghetti, pasta and pizza are synonymous with Italian in the world and strengthen national identity, just like the fashion of Valentino and Armani are the boast made in Italy and abroad. Meanwhile, the Italians of the north and south continue to quarrel among themselves.

What can I say: we hope that where they fail to reach agreement the words, we could a nice plate of steaming noodles.

Good Life!
