Meanwhile, the Hyblean Mountains (Monti Iblei) in Southeastern Sicily are bursting with flavor and often have a well-rounded fruity essence.

Veneto is the home of both Venice and Verona, the former of which was once among the world's biggest maritime republics. The region has also been part of the Roman Empire, the Venetian Republic, and the Austrian Empire, giving it a diverse culture and cuisine.
