Magnifico Food Trip
The Marche region doesn't pop up right away in the tourists' minds. Cities like Rome, Naples, Milan, Florence are so famous that you must go, of course. Even Italians don’t really know this region.
Surrounded by the Apennines, this region is not a conventional Italian destination. Nevertheless, it is a charming place to visit, full of beautiful landscapes, ancient villages, and, of course, delicious food specialties.
Like many other regions in south Italy, the culinary tradition in Puglia is part of what we call “cucina povera:” recipes that are tasty but prepared with simple ingredients, easy to find everywhere.
There is always a good reason to celebrate and enjoy great food, loving company, and a nice glass of wine — that’s every Italian’s mantra. Maybe this is the reason why we have sagre all over the country. The Guardian once called these annual cultural and eno-gastronomical festivals “Italy’s best-kept food secret.”
