In History of Italian Cuisine I, we have begun a tale of food, wars, invasions and great men that brought us from the dawn of Roman civilization to the very beginning of the Renaissance. We saw how influences from the Germanic people who conquered areas of the peninsula, but especially those from the Arabs of Sicily, helped creating some of Italy's best known dishes: marzipan, cassata, even gelato have roots in Arabic culinary tradition.
In this section, we'll take a closer look at the Renaissance courts of the most beautiful cities of Italy, at what was popular on their tables and why. We'll also find out the discovery of America truly changed the shape of things in Italy, also when it comes to food: our best ally in the kitchen, the tomato, entered our homes in the 16th century, after Cortèz brought some seeds back from the Americas and drastically modified the way we eat.
