    While it were the Spaniards who brought the Aztec delicacy to Europe, it was Turin which really became the first capital of chocolate. Two other centers of excellence include the Sicilian town of Modica, which still produces its chocolate following the original Aztec recipe, and the Chocolate Valley in Tuscany, between Pisa, Prato and Pistoia. Also renowned for their historic artisan chocolatiers are Napels and Perugia.
