A festive Italian meal generally begins with a variety of appetizers, which are known as antipasti —literally, before the meal. These antipasti vary considerably from place to place in Italy, but they will often include a selection of pickles and other firm vegetables, which are known as an antipasto misto.
In this platter—prepared by the Trattoria il Borgo, a restaurant Franciacorta's Azienda Villa a fine winery with excellent bubbly which recently opened in Monticelli Brusati, not far from Brescia—are pickled artichokes, stewed mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, pickled onions, and giardiniera, a vegetable medley. Fresh artichokes are standard fare during the winter in Italy, play, an important role in pasta sauces, and make a fine main course stuffed , usually or a side dish. Carciofi sott'olio —artichokes packed in oil—are instead popular year-round, and are among the standard elements of an antipasto misto.
They're also nice on pizza, either in conjunction with ham, or in a Quattro Stagioni, a pizza with ham, artichoke hearts, prosciutto, mushrooms, and olives. Italian cooking is above all seasonal, and you'll find that in the selection of vegetables that go into an antipasto misto too. This platter was prepared in the fall, during mushroom season, and funghi trifolati —stewed wild porcini —naturally find a place.
In the spring you might find something else, like a couple of asparagus tips and a slice of hard-boiled egg. Sun-dried tomatoes are more of a southern thing in Italy, in part because the southern climate is more conducive to growing tomatoes, and in part, because the tremendous volume of tomatoes produced in the south leads naturally to drying some of them. Southerners, therefore, do more with sun-dried tomatoes than northerners do—they put them in pasta sauces, for example, or add them to dishes to provide flavor.
