ITALY & ITALIAN REGIONS
LOMBARDY
The cuisine of the northern Italian region of Lombardy tends to have less cuisine in common with its central and southern counterparts. Think hearty, luxurious dishes stapled with rice and polenta, rather than pasta. This is because irrigation is most reliable in the northern side of the Po Valley and that water-intensive crops like rice grow with ease.
