This dissertation aims to show the role of Venice in the development of a food culture during the XV-XVI centuries. The food culture reflects cultures in the larger society. Eating food is a response to natural human needs but the way we prepare food is largely influenced by the culture around us. Men do not consume food simply to cure hunger. Men taste and experience dishes that are prepared through a set of culinary techniques and these techniques are largely influenced by the cultural context
