Italian regional landscapes and culinary traditions

Various regions of Italy are highlighted through their unique connections between local landscapes and traditional cuisine. In Castellabate, the porcini mushroom pizza is presented as a sensory experience that complements the coastal scenery of the Cilento region and the Tyrrhenian Sea.

In Vietri sul Mare, the tradition of impepata di cozze is framed by the town’s famous artisanal ceramics and the vertical landscape of the Amalfi Coast. Meanwhile, in the Sannio region near the Taburno massif, the preparation of friarielli reflects the rural agricultural character of the Benevento countryside.

Along the Adriatic coast, the stretch from Falconara Marittima to Ancona is described during the autumn season, noting the transition from crowded summer beaches to a quieter, more reflective coastal landscape.
