Following the arrival of South American tomatoes in the early 16th century, Naples became the home of the first pizzeria, originating the idea of individual pies cooked to order. Italian foodies don’t limit their toppings to simple sauce and cheese, with local favorites including the napoletana, cheese topped with capers and anchovy, or patate con rosamarino, sliced potatoes and rosemary.

Florence’s Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore—popularly known as the Duomo—has been a local landmark from the moment Filippo Brunelleschi completed its record-setting dome in 1436. Taking 16 years to be fully realized, the dome holds some of the cathedral’s most notable frescoes, which were painted by Giorgio Vasari in the late 16th century.
