like Indian cuisine, Italian food differs widely from region to region and also has many variations. It has its roots in the colonising effect of the erstwhile Roman empire, with Jewish, Arab, ancient Greek, African and some amount of Asian influence. Indo-Roman relations were built on trade. Roman trade with India began with overland caravans and later by direct maritime, and there are some who say that the Mozzarella di Buffala [buffalo Mozzarella] was influenced from our shores.
