In the first Gola episode not dedicated explicitly to food (but don't worry we get there!), Katie and Danielle discuss the life of Countess Matilda of Canossa--from her successful separation from two unwanted husbands to her tangle with the Holy Roman Emperor to her possible affair with Pope Gregory VII! While they're at it, they get a handle on how regional identity in central Italy was formed, thus leading to all the foods of protected origin we know and love.
