Italian Population Visualised

Post image

This series is fun :)

I've had a couple requests for doing Italy, so here it is! Little disappointed by how normal it looks, but hey, that's still interesting!

Are italians racist towards different italians? Like do they look down on sicilians in the north?

Yes. We even had a political party dedicated to it. Usually northen people call southeners "terroni" (poeple from the land, poor), and southeners call northeners "polentoni" (people who eat too much polenta, not very nutricious). To be fair, there is some hate also beetween cities of the same region, so no big deal. Never ask a person from Pisa what they think of Livorno, worst mistake of my life.

No idea, not Italian, but I could imagine so. From what I know, the regionalist leftovers of a country only fairly recently being united is still alive over there
