https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/dec/15/myth-traditional-italian-cuisine-food@emmecola Should be interesting to know what Pellegrino Artusi thinks about it. Unfortunately he died 114 years ago, after writing his ponderous book The Science of Cooking and the Art of Eating Well (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_scienza_in_cucina_e_l%27arte_di_mangiar_bene).

@RFancio According to Grandi, Artusi collected recipes from rich Italian families, which were often imported from abroad.. but the everyday cuisine was very different. I don't think this is enough evidence to call those recipes "traditions". But anyway, I am not an historian 🙂
