\"naples<\/p>\n

The history of Naples goes back over a millennia, and the cuisine has developed over centuries which have seen everything from war to natural disasters. The city was the capital of the Kingdom of Naples which covered the region of Campania as well. This ensured that the city\u2019s cuisine included the best of countryside ingredients like vegetables, pasta and cheese, as well as seaside ingredients like fish, molluscs and crustaceans.
