It cost almost nothing. A bitter green most people threw out, a can of beans, garlic, a heel of bread to push it around the bowl. That was the whole meal some nights, and nobody at that table felt poor eating it. Cucina povera, the cooking of making something out of not-much.

Yes it does!

Italy ranks among the most favorably viewed countries in the world by Americans.

According to a 2026 Gallup survey, 84% of U.S. adults hold a favorable opinion of Italy, placing it second only to Japan among 21 major countries measured, and ahead of Canada, Denmark, France, and the United Kingdom.

For the Italian American community, this reflects decades of cultural connection, from food and art to family and tradition, that continue to shape how Italy is seen in the United States.
