Italian dishes in Italy are the same in the foreign countries?

I agree that cuisine from any country changes some when it goes to another country! I think one of the biggest misconceptions about Italian food is that it is the same all across Italy! I spent 3 months living in Florence. I also traveled to the north and all the way down to Sicily. The food varies greatly across the country! I do think you are right that part of the difference is the ingredients. There are certain things that are hard to get in other countries or are very expensive. I do love Italian food. The Americanized versions and the real stuff in Italy! I cant wait to go back to Italy. One of my favorite parts of traveling is the food!
