    Italian culture and society underwent significant changes in the sixth century. Unlike Byzantium, which continued as a clear heir of the Roman Empire, conflicting influences on Italian life altered the imperial culture of the Italian region. Although the Gauls did absorb aspects of Roman imperial culture, such as the style of government and material and luxurious lifestyle, Gallic society remained fundamentally different from that of the Romans. The increased focus on monasticism, due to Italy functioning as a religious powerhouse, also altered the Roman influence on the region. It is a complicated question, determining if 6th century Italy was an heir to the Roman Empire or the start of a new cultural beginning, however, I will argue that…

    I am an alien, an Italian immigrant who first learned how to change when he was eleven years of age. I'm going to start off by saying that in Italy there is a scarcity of change, making personal development seldom welcomed.

People are afraid to embark on new culinary journeys; an Italian is taught to only eat Italian foods, no exceptions.…
