Do not take me for some follower of post hoc logical fallacy, my good man. i shall demonstrate to you.
As you can see by the following pictures, all of which are paintings dating back to the time the Roman empire ruled half the known world, so this is nothing if not historical evidence:

The Romans depicted themselves of consuming nothing in their cave painting art, but olives and wine. both of which are very important to Italian culture, even in today's times.
now, Look towards both WWs that savage this great universe. judging by the Italians performance during WW1, and sub-sequentially, the the fascist black shirts in WW2. we notice how poorly the area performs against the modernize opposing sides during that time period. Not only that, but take a look at the arms and weapons the Italians used during the conflicts, poor materials, poor craftsmanship. outdated weapons, tanks outclassed in many respects. is a clear indication that the pizza-eaters are slow to advance, whether its technological or cultural
so, now that we have concluded the people of Mario-brothers ville are slow and stubborn, We can safely assume, that
A. Italians have not progressed culturally enough to expand into a wider palette of cuisines
B. Drawing from Conclusion A and the above shown primary evidence, that the small palette of available will consist of nothing but Olives and wine.
This is the only logically explanation, and frankly, anyone who disagrees is nothing but a moronic twat and a non-gentleman.
My dear sir, when Jesus Christ came back from America in 1492, he brought tomatoes, pumpkins and beans in Rome, so it is safe to assume that nowadays, you will find nothing else to eat or drink in Italy except beans, tomatoes, pumpkins and ofc wine and olives.
In WW1 Italy didn't perform as badly as some may think, at the end, them italians soldiers defeated my ancestors and conquered their land (central powers got ganked). They won , probably using some black magic, you can't possibly win against the most agile and better looking people of the alps without using sum dark spells. I tell you, they summoned ündead and shit . Many historians think that some high priests of the catholic church made a secret deal with the necromancers sect of Rome, apparently the priests promised them that they would not be persecuted by Jesus Christ anymore, if the necromancers convinced the sneaky undeads (who at the time lived in the dungeons) to steal weapons from the Austro-Hungarians and German soldiers; some people believe that's why today there are many necromancy schools in Rome.
Seriously, Italy's army in WW1 wasn't that bad, the soldiers had more or less the same weapons technology-wise of the other armies. It also was the the biggest army Italy has ever had since the unification in 1861, almost twice more soldiers than in ww2. Around one third of Austro-Hungarian casualties in ww1 occurred on the italian or alpine front. In ww2 the italian army was indeed a total joke.
