Re: The Northern-Southern Italian divide [split]
That's all fine, Gesta. But I'd like to ask you a question.
What's your view on how the political configuration of Italy should be?
I notice that in your profile you advocate for "European Federalism" and so this implies a degree of union with peoples to which Northern Italians are related indeed, though not as much related as they are with Southern Italians.
I would be truly interested on a non vague or short answer, but rather on a well thought and elaborated exposition because in my opinion no one single model serves for all regions/countries/nations in Europe.
