The Silver Spoon, 1950
First conceived and published by Domus, Italy’s famed design and architectural magazine. A select group of cooking experts were commissioned to collect hundreds of traditional Italian recipes. It’s in almost every Italian household and easy to find used.
Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking, 1992 by Marcella Hazan.
Kind of speaks for itself but if you’re not familiar with her, she is the Italian Julia Child (except actually Italian.)
Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating Well, 1891 by Pellegrino Artusi
This is the original compilation of Italian recipes coordinated by Pellegrino Artusi as a way to speak to Italian unification at the time through food. Bonus points if you get the original Italian language version.
Encyclopedia of Pasta, 2009 by Oretta Zanini De Vita and translated by Maureen Fant
Food scholar Oretta Zanini De Vita traveled to every corner of her native Italy, recording oral histories, delving into long-forgotten family cookbooks, and searching obscure archives to produce this rich and uniquely personal compendium of historical and geographical information. For each entry she includes the primary ingredients, preparation techniques, variant names, and the locality where it is made and eaten while debunking such culinary myths as Marco Polo's supposed role in pasta's story.
