This historical overview, based on recent archaeological and ethnohistorical research, explores the past lives of Italian traditional food from Romans’ cookbooks to Medieval monasteries and fascist propaganda. ~~~Laura Motta, PhD, Assistant Research Scientist at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology and the Museum of Anthropology, The University of Michigan.
