Default Re: Italian Foods Forever

James,

Not being a multi-lingual person in any sense of the word, and having only schoolboy French to fall back on (now largely forgotten), is it simply that the spelling of Toscana (the noun - Tuscany in English) stays as Toscana for feminine nouns and becomes Toscano for masculine nouns when used as an adjective, as in this instance of il pane (masculine noun)? So Tuscan bread = pane Toscano.

I must book into Italian classes!

Cheers, Paul.
