I've traveled to all 20 regions in Italy. The whole country has great food, but one region is a step above the rest.

captiontk modena Kaitlyn Rosati I've spent a lot of time in Italy, and my favorite region for food is Emilia-Romagna. This part of the country is home to Parmigiano-Reggiano, Mortadella, and balsamic vinegar of Modena. I especially love eating truffles and tortellini whenever I visit. It's no secret that Italy has some of the world's best food. However, after visiting all 20 regions, I've learned that the country isn't one-size-fits-all when it comes to dining in la dolce vita. Each region has niche dishes and products that locals wear like a badge of honor, like mozzarella di bufala from Campania, pesto alla Genovese from Liguria, and arancini from Sicily. Although I would gladly choose to eat anywhere in Italy over any city in the US, Emilia-Romagna gets the gold for the best cuisine in the country. The region is home to delicious foods like Parmigiano-Reggiano This region is home to Parmigiano-Reggiano, among other exports. Kaitlyn Rosati From Parmigiano-Reggiano and balsamic vinegar of Modena to Prosciutto di Parma and mortadella from Bologna, Emilia-Romagna is home to some of Italy's most beloved exports. These are just a few of the products that are PDO and PGI-certified. This is a high standard in the world of food that signals an official link between a product and a region. Emilia-Romagna has 44 PDO and PGI products in total — more than any other Italian region. You'll also find some of the country's most famous restaurants here, like Osteria Francescana and Al Gatto Verde in Modena, and Trattoria da Amerigo in Savigno. Beyond the accolades and fancy titles, though, I believe that what makes Emilia-Romagna's cuisine a standout is simply the care and attention put into the food I've had here. After visiting the region at least twice a year for the past six years, I have yet to have even a subpar meal. You can get a taste of all the best parts of Italy, from cheese to truffles, in this one region In Savigno, you can hunt for truffles with the help of trained dogs. Kaitlyn Rosati In Italy, some regions just do certain products better. For example, Tuscany is famous for its red wine; meanwhile, many head to Piedmont for truffles, and Campania's tomatoes are top-notch. However, Emilia-Romagna really has a city or town for everything you could ever want on your plate. Savigno has a sign when entering that says "Cittá del Tartufo," which quite literally translates to "City of Truffles." A visit to Appennino Food Group, a food production group explicitly known for its truffle exports, is a great way to plan an afternoon of truffle hunting with trained pups. The company was founded by Luigi Dattilo, who, at 17, refused his father's offer of a car and asked for a truffle dog instead. As for tomatoes, Mutti, the famed canned tomato brand, has its headquarters in Parma. Plus, if you're looking to enjoy Parmigiano-Reggiano in its rightful birthplace, the only place in the world you can do just that is in Emilia-Romagna. Tortellini has some roots here, too. There was a long-standing debate between Modena and Bologna about who made tortellini first. However, a popular legend holds that tortellini originated in Castelfranco Emilia, a small town between the two hubs. Some Italians theorize that tortellini's shape was inspired by Venus's belly button after she spent a night at an inn in town. After years of visiting, I have some favorite spots in the region Tortellini in crema di Parmigiano at Franceschetta58 in Modena. Kaitlyn Rosati As someone who constantly craves a taste of Emilia-Romagna — and who spends a lot of time in Italy — I'm in the region often. I love trying new places, but I have a few favorite spots. One is Franceschetta58 in Modena, known for its decadent tortellini en Parmigiana crema dish (where, yes, I do lick the plate clean every single time). For something more traditional, I prefer Sfoglia Rina in Bologna for tortellini en brodo. In Parma, Salumeria Garibaldi is an ideal spot for a sip of Lambrusco, the region's most famed wine, paired with bites of prosciutto and mostarda. Meanwhile, an hour and a half away in Ferrara, check out Al Brindisi, a historic wine bar dating back to 1435, making it the world's oldest. Despite its prominent history, Al Brindisi has an unfussy feel, still preserving its medieval charm in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Pro tip: Order the cappellacci di zucca, or pumpkin-stuffed pasta, a staple of Ferrarese cuisine. Read the original article on Business Insider

Green-Left MP Bonelli reports raft of death threats

(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 18 - Angelo Bonelli, the co-leader of the Green-Left Alliance (AVS), said Wednesday that he and fellow AVS co-leader Nicola Fratoianni had come under a raft of death threats and accused government ministers of whipping up anger against them. Bonelli blasted Deputy Premier and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini over an image linking AVS to the murder of French far-right nationalist student Quentin Deranque and Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi for saying the party was the "accomplice" of left-wing protesters who rioted in Turin last month. "We risk becoming targets, we feel like targets," Bonelli said in the Lower House, showing some of the messages he has received. "Over the last few days Fratoianni and I have received very serious threats, all of which have been reported to the police "This is a letter that was delivered to me with a picture of my wife and daughter and our home address with very serious death threats involving a machete, saying they'll cut off my head. "This one arrived a few days ago regarding the clashes in Turin and says 'we'll hammer your children, we'll shoot you in the head'. "This one went to my sister. "It says 'that filthy pig of a brother of yours, we'll hang him upside down in Piazza Maggiore in Bologna and we'll cut off his sh**ty head'". Bonelli called on Piantedosi to report to parliament to say what he intended to do to reduce the level of political tension. (ANSA). Read article...

England’s Henry Arundell free to play against Ireland after avoiding ban

No further sanction for wing after red against Scotland Steve Borthwick set to name team on Tuesday afternoon The England wing Henry Arundell has escaped a ban for his red card against Scotland at the weekend after the disciplinary panel determined that his sending off was sufficient punishment. Arundell is now available for selection against Ireland on Saturday but it remains to be seen if Borthwick will pick the Bath flyer after his disappointing outing at Murrayfield. It is understood the head coach was waiting on the outcome of the verdict to have “the full picture” before finalising his team selection. Continue reading...
