Italian gastronomy is popular all over the world thanks to its ancient and varied pastry tradition as well. Local patisserie differs from region to region, and in each territory there are sweet specialties that enhance its typical ingredients and carry on its popular customs. In this article we have selected 20 typical Italian desserts, one per region, to take you on an exquisite journey from Aosta Valley to Sicily.

The Bel Paese dessert culture is not just a simple ending to meals, the last pampering for our palate, but a proper experience that can bring us even closer to the culture and the essence of the single regions. For whatever you choose as your destination in Italy, if you take an approach to the confectionery art treasures, you will discover that every cake, every cookie and every snack talks about the territory in which it was made, its history, its traditions and its typical products, which perhaps reach a maximum level of exaltation precisely in it.
