A History Of Hunger Lies Beneath Italy’s Food Culture

I first saw the cave wall in the Crypt of the Original Sin in my family province of Matera, in Southern Italy, in the Fall of 2014. The faces of the angels and Adam and Eve, painted in the 9th century by Byzantine monks, looked strangely familiar. They resembled my family. And then there was the subject matter: Stealing food. I had grown up in Jersey City, N.J., where swiping food was a birthright.
