Even someone with very little worldly knowledge has heard of Rome, Venice, Florence, Milan, Pisa, Naples, and Pompeii.

USA

Fair enough. But considering population size, geographical size, and modern relevance, it's not as impressive as much as it is expected.

If you get the chance, there's a reasonably condensed book about post-Roman Italy titled In Pursuit of Italy by David Gilmour. It mostly focuses on Italian history in relation to unification, but it's bretty gud nonetheless.

wtf I love pink floyd now

What else do you need to know?

I think Italy blows every other nation out of the water.
Best set of inventors by far: The following inventions among many others can be credited to Italians: construction: paved roads, arched bridges, aqueducts; art and music: piano, harpsichord, violin, viola, cello, bass, opera; science and technology: electric battery (Volta), telephone (Meucci), radio (Marconi), microprocessor (Faggin), moveable type (Castaldi), loudspeaker (Marzi), sound on film (Rappazzo), thermometer (Santorio), barometer (Torricelli), compass (Gioja), seismograph (Cecchi), telescope (Galileo), nuclear reactor (Fermi), internal combustion engine (Matteucci, Barsanti), first petrol engine (Bernardi), steam turbine (Branca), jet engine (Campini), carburetor (DeCristoforis), hydraulic motor (Ramelli), helicopter (Forlanini), hydrofoil (Forlanini), seaplane (Calderara), motor scooter (D'Ascanio), eyeglasses (Spina, D'Armate), torpedo (Luppis), revolver (Broccu); food: espresso, capucinno, pasta (not invented in China), pizza.

They had the best set of explorers: Marco Polo, Cristoforo Colombo (Christopher Columbus), Amerigo Vespucci (America), Giovanni Caboto (John Cabot), Verrazzano

Best artists and sculptors: Leonardo DaVinci, Michaelangelo, Botticelli, Ghiberti, Bartolini, Donatello, Rafael, many others

Composers: Monteverdi, Cavalli, Vivaldi, Verdi, many others

Writers, historians, and philosophers: Ovid, Livy, Lucretius, Pliny, Plutarch, Seneca, Virgil, Cicero, Boccaccio, Petrarch, Machiavelli, Cicero, Marcus Aurelius, Dante, Thomas Aquinas, Anselm, many others

Pretty much all of the so-called 'finest' physical things in life are made by Italians: the finest paintings, finest sculpture, finest foods (maybe competing with French food), finest clothes, finest cars (Lamborghini, Ferrari, Pagani), finest construction and building materials. No other nation comes close to matching Italians for craftsmanship.

Anyone have any serious challengers?

If only they could win wars.

we won both World Wars tho

>Join the side you secretly want to lose
>Be a massive liability for your entire alliance

4D Italian tactics.

How can other nations even compete?

Partigiana eh?

Tired of this meme. Unified Italy won way more wars than they lost

mmhm

I love being Puglian, I am a descendant of both the Greco and Roman civilizations, the two greatest to ever exist.

Meanwhile you north cucks are just a bunch of Celtic/Germanic barbar rape babies.

AYYY MY GRAN MUDDA WAS FROM SICILLIA I'M 100% EYE TALIAN WE WUZ ROMANZ 'N SHEIT SPAGHETTI AND A MEATBOLLS THAT'S MAH FAVORITE FOOD GABAGOOL

What was that? It's hard to hear you over the sound of my industrial machinery.

They have no culture.

They live in Roman territory.

Wrong, I'm of noble Etruscan stock.

Medieval Italy was the shit

>Brillant philosophy (Aquinas)
>Condottieri : A guy could just take a castle and proclaim himself the new master, see Malatesta family
>Guelfs vs Ghibellines AKA the fucking Pope vs the fucking Emperor

>Norman Sicily
>God tier arts : Dante, Boccace, Giotto

They mostly speak Tuscan

It's shaped like a boot

Germany too
It has Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Koln, Frankfurt and many other well-known cities.

The USA too : Chicago, Seattle, Washington, NYC, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Detroit, Boston and so on
the UK : Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow, Edimburgh, London, York...

Naples is great.

nobody would be able to recognize half those cities on a photo.

I think the only British city everyone's familiar with is London. Most people wouldn't be able to recognize the others in photos.

Rome, Venice, Paris, Moscow and London are all in the same league of recognizability because of their hallmarks. Berlin maybe, too.

We Wuz/10

Nice dubs tho
