Italy and the Potato: A History, 1550-2000
Gentilcore, Professor David (University of Leicester, UK)
Little has been written about the potato's Italian history. Italy, like the rest of Europe, owes a lot to the 'Columbian exchange'. As a result of this process, in addition to potatoes, Europe acquired maize, tomatoes and most types of beans. This book examines the important role it has played in Italy's social, cultural and economic history.
