I adore this dish. And make it on the regular in the summer. And you're so right about the Italian approach to food being more important than any particular dish. it may have something to do with the excellence of Italian produce, which is so tasty without the need to resort to all sorts of extraneous flavorings.
PS: Like you, I almost always eat Italian at home. But never at a restaurant!

One clarification: I never eat out Italian *when I'm not in Italy*. Of course...
Yum! Thanks for the inspiration and the story.
I stick to a mostly plant-based diet, so I look for ways to change some classic Italian dishes. A challenge, yes.
