Although it has long beven popular primarily for its cheapness and conenience, Italian food occupies a revered place as one of the world's great cuisines.

The southern Italian diet especially, with its emphasis on olie oil, fresh and plentiful fruit, egetables and fish, is one of the healthiest in Europe, and there are few national cuisines that can boast so much ariety in both ingredients and cooking methods.

Italy's wines, too, are among the finest and most dierse in Europe and the international image of cheap fizz and rough reds is long out of date
