“The sentiment underlying this local possessiveness of distinctive crops, foods, and customs is known in Italy as campanilismo. It is somewhat negatively defined in dictionaries as 'an excessive attraction to one's own homeland or birthplace.' As it is derived from the word for bell, campana, a more literal definition might be 'belief or faith in what lies within earshot of the village bell.”
