Religion has a big influence of the way Italians eat.
Well not really, it makes no difference to them at all
Actually religion does make a impact on the way Italian eat. It doesn't effect their daily lives but on special occasions such as Good Friday and Christmas, many traditional Italians are influenced to follow some Catholic ideas. Although this may be known, on Good Friday they do not eat meat. They also do not put vinegar on their salads on good Friday, this is because pone time Jesus was tired and asked someone for water, instead they gave him vinegar. On Christmas lamb is typically eaten for dinner, this is not because of a popular meal choice but because it comes from the lyric "lamb of God you take away the sins...". Hope this helped!
Most countries have national or traditional dishes. Because of climate and abundance of certain foods.
Italy is no different in this, they too, have a recognised cuisine but not because of beliefs.
Dishes eaten because of belief is not dependant on national borders but rather on religious or spiritual grounds.
In earlier centuries when the Roman Catholic Church held greater political and social influence than it does today, Italians and many other people throughout Europe had to regulate their diet according to the Roman Church's liturgical calendar of feasts and fasts. For example, for many centuries, meat could not be eaten on Fridays or through the entire 40 days of Lent. So Italian cuisine developed many wonderful meatless dishes. Similarly, special foods were created in recognition of specific holy days. These traditional foods continue to be important in the Italian culture.
Most countries in Latin America have national or traditional dishes. Also many of them have different cultures. For example, there is an extensive Orthodox Jewish community in Mexico City, while Sao Paulo has a vibrant Muslim community. Both of them have certain 'forbidden foods', such as swine and alcohol.

Spain is 94% Roman Catholic. They eat anything the church permits and that is very liberal indeed.
They do not eat meat on Christmas Eve in honour and respect for god and focus their heart and soul on the birth of Jesus Christ!
