During the era that the cyberpunk genre was created, there was a very common belief that Japan was going to be the dominant force in the future, given their success with technology and finance at the time. A lot of the early stories written in the cyberpunk genre tried to reflect this idea of a future where Japan is the dominant country by having Japanese food and other cultural icons be heavily reflected in their stories.

While people today are no longer as concerned about the idea that Japan is going to conquer the world economically, a lot of cyberpunk still draws on the tropes from those '80s books.

So what you are saying is, there is an open market for Cyberpunk setting with strong italian cuisine and back ground settings. Where the Vatican is a technochratic theocracy. People ride around on hover vespas eating calzone, pesto flavored gelato, and tesseract cut pizza.
