Street Food of Italy

When visiting Italy, it is common to visit a nice, sit down restaurant and enjoy some Italian classics. Tourists (and natives) who would rather linger around the city of Italy don't really have the time to stop and eat. Vendors have now decided to cater to these people's needs, and bring a little taste of Italy to the streets. These vendors relate a little to localization [AP HG term]. They also remind me of "The Boy Who Harnassed the Wind," where William could walk around and purchase food of Malawi in the market. These vendors have been gaining popularity because of their location (easy access to the people passing by) and because of their prices, which are cheap.

Each region of Italy has their own foods that they serve, and that are usually associated to one region than another. For example, in northern Italy they serve polenta which is cooked cornmeal. It can be eaten with cheeses or stews. In southern Italy they serve the infamous pizza a portafoglio which is folded pizza. The folded shape makes it more convenient for the people purchasing on the go. Whether you are a tourist on the go, or have time to spare, you won't leave Italy without a taste of its classics.
