The large area of central Italy extending east of the Apennines from the high peak of the Gran Sasso in the north to the Apulian plain in the south.

Although situated between northern and southern Italy, their cooking belongs to the south and consists of two distinct cuisines: the coastal one based on fish and that of the mountainous inland based on pork and, to a minor extent, on sheep and poultry.
