Eating Up Italy: Voyages on a Vespa

Fort examines Italy through its food and the people who produce it. He discovers a land where regional differences are still alive and uncovers the rich connection between history, tradition, and cuisine. The enticing sum of these parts—the food, producers, ingredients, consumers, and eating occasions—is nothing less than a contemporary portrait of the country.
