Well most of 'traditional' Italien food is actually from the US and had been invented by Italien immigrants.

Yeah, Italian chef friend of mine once said that you use garlic, or onions, rarely both, in authentic italian food. Unless you are from one of the many places where they always use both.
A lot of people don't realize that Italy is a relatively young country comprising multiple distinct regions and culinary histories.
correct, a lot of "traditional" methods people think are possibly ancient, are like 150 years old. Some areas are culturally diverse to the point where they are basically a completely different culture, in comparison.
