Those who own Italy property could find that restaurants in the south of the country offer them the chance to sample the "gutsy food" of the nation.

In an article for the Telegraph, Xanthe Clay said that while Brits love Italian food, it is the cuisine found in the north of the country that they are most familiar with.

However, when Ms Clay took a recent Italian property break to Puglia, she said that she found "some of the most gutsy food is produced further south", which could interest foodie fans looking to invest in Italy property who are unsure which part of the country to choose.

Speaking to the source, Calabrian chef Francesco Mazzei, who owns a restaurant in London, said he is keen to bring the southern Italian style of cooking to England.

According to CN Traveller, the region of Puglia "dramatically combines fairytale cottages, Baroque churches and Pagan dances".
