Italian food is famous worldwide, but what most people don’t know is that each region has its own speciality. Florence, which is in the region of Tuscany, has a medieval history that influences the traditional staples of Florentine and Tuscan cuisine. Another factor that affects the cuisine are the local ingredients like tomatoes, rosemary, porcini mushrooms, truffle mushrooms, olives, aubergines, oregano, basil, and a few varieties of meat, cheese, and bread.
