Italians are strongly associated with pizza, pasta, coffee, and gelato. Pizza originated in Naples and was created to represent the Italian flag. There are many regional varieties of pasta as well as sauces like carbonara from Rome and pesto from Genoa. Italians take pride in cooking pasta al dente. Music and opera are also deeply ingrained in Italian culture, with iconic singers like Pavarotti. Fashion houses from Gucci to Armani dominate the industry. Both the mafia and political leaders are centered in Rome. Soccer, cinema, and wine are also an important part of Italian life.
