Sadly, that was not always the case. Even my dad told me that his family would have nothing but bread most of the time, growing up.
depends how old he is. Maybe during the years of war?. Urban people probably suffered some kind of famine, but definitely not any less then anywhere else in Europe. Agriculture was always plentiful. It all depends on the region and the era. South Italians today eat very well. not fussy food a good variety all fresh and plentiful. Compared to my country Greens and fruits are ridiculously cheap in the shops and markets. I wont forget my cherry feast at 1.99 Euro a kilo on my last visit (not less then 4Euro locally) We import lots of southern Italian produce at double sometimes triple the price you get it there
