Curiosity: in ancient times, caponata was very different from what we know today. In fact, until the seventeenth century the aubergine was not known, and celery, instead known since ancient times, was not used in the kitchen but only had a decorative purpose. Caponata, although made up of vegetables, is a seafood dish and takes its name from the place where it was born, the Caupona, or the tavern. The caupona of the ports prepared the food for the sailors who sailed from the coast of the island.
