Things change. Even in Italy. So you can see goin' around lot of little food bussines with a "Pizza & kebab" sign on the top of the enter. Well, personally I like it. Undoubtely North Arabs have a real talent to cook pizza. And - undoubtely the same - italian trade mark has ever been creativity. As anyone can see, the new food is not cancelling the old, on the contrary: rather it allows a new discovery of the old and now mildly appreciated "pasta all'amatriciana" & Co (mildly especially by young people, unfortunately). Sincerely, I hope most of all in a rediscovery of the "pecorino romano" instead of the classical - but not local, here in Rome - "parmigiano reggiano". Parmigiano is absolutely good but is not better than pecorino, it only has been doing a better marketing campaign! I'm a fan of pecorino, you see. Ok, let's talk about kebab. Aside kebab  - that are for Italians like hot-dog are for Americans - another trendy fashion rising is japanese sushi bar; but several immigrants sometimes open restaurants cooking their local food. Here in Rome I've been in an Egiptyan, Peruvian, Indian, Argentinian, Tex-Mex, Etiopian (they eat grabbing food with hands, real exciting...), Moroccan, Japanese, Chinese (obviously), Kosher (Jewish) and Vietnamese ones. A culinary world tour. But I think curiosity it's very very Italian. Italian life has ever been benefit from encountering other cultures. For instance, the tipical dish in Le Marche is... the Paella! A paella quite different from the spanish one, of course; as well as different from the original is the ethinc food in Rome: either for the taste of western people, so different from the eastern one; or because there's no original ingredients, that's why at the japanese restaurant we ordered a tipical far-east's fried vegetable and they served us a tipical roman "cicoria ripassata". I'd never eaten cicoria with chopsticks, at least.
