Italy

Italy is considered to be part of the wine belt of Europe. Nevertheless beer, particularly pale lagers, are common in the country. It is traditionally considered to be an ideal accompaniment to pizza. Since the 1970s, beer has spread from pizzerias and has become much more popular for drinking in other situations. Ancient Rome knew of beer and produced small amounts, but the production facilities were destroyed in various barbarian invasions.
