What was Italian cuisine like before the introduction of tomatoes?

by reaperoftoes

Tomatoes seem to be such an integral part of so many well known Italian dishes and with tomatoes being a new world fruit got me to wondering what the cuisine was like before their introduction. Was there a major difference across the board recipe wise or were tomatoes just kinda added into time honored recipes?

This has been asked a few times before, so check out the posts that /u/Mictlantecuhtli linked in this thread. I'd link them properly but I'm on mobile.

Hope that helps!
