I would like an introduction, thanks

Analysis:

Italy is as long and narrow as a boot. It borders Austria, Switzerland, France, and Croatia to the north, and looks across the sea to the African continent to the south. Historically, northern Italy has been occupied many times by Austria, Switzerland, France, etc., while southern Italy has been deeply influenced by Spanish and French culture, with completely different historical backgrounds. In 1861, Italy realized the unification of the entire territory. Prior to this, localities were fragmented into independent city-states of varying sizes.

A short period of more than 100 years cannot change the cultural characteristics of various places. Not only are there huge differences between the north and the south, each region maintains its own unique habits, traditions, history, food culture, language, and customs. Therefore, the personalities and temperaments of the local people are also diverse.

It is rare to find a country with such diverse local customs within the same country. Italians are particularly proud of their hometown. There is a saying: "The church bells on every street are worth cherishing." This sentence reveals the deep affection for one's hometown and also shows the strong sense of competition with other places. This can also be seen in the boos and fights on the football field that lead to fatalities.

"Without love, life is unimaginable" - the cheerful southerner

As mentioned above, meeting an Italian for the first time, understanding where he is from, understanding His life background is quite important. This is not only true for us foreigners, Italians also believe that knowing where the other person is from is a crucial factor when communicating.

First of all, from the appearance point of view, generally speaking, people with tall stature, slightly golden skin, brown hair, and blue eyes are mostly northern Italians. The further south you go, the shorter people become, and the color of their skin, hair, and eyes becomes darker and darker. What we think of as bold, quintessentially Italian is actually southern Italian. --Can anyone on the forum verify Totti?

They are cheerful, happy and even chatty; they always put work second, and are most interested in drinking, dining, singing, dancing and falling in love... simple and simple Live life with enthusiasm. For these Southerners, life without love is simply unthinkable.

These men are eloquent and often complacent in imposing their will on others. But on the other hand, they are romantic and passionate at heart. Because of this, once they fall in love with each other, the outcome will be unpredictable, so be careful. They attach great importance to traditional customs. If you become his bride, they will invite two to three hundred people to a wedding banquet for two days and two nights in the square. It’s truly a “godfather” country. A wedding can actually become a grand festival.

On the surface, Southern Italians are cheerful, informal, and easy to fall in love with, but in fact they also have a deep and delicate side. They attach great importance to the relationship with their family, even if they are both Italians, they will find it difficult. It doesn't matter if you just fall in love. If you want to get married, without full communication and tacit understanding between families, it will be difficult to get married.

On the contrary, many northern Italians are progressive, ambitious, hard-working and diligent. They are not like the southerners who have fun and have no restraint. They also treat others appropriately and are more urban. Most professional women in the north hold the idea of ??equality between men and women.

Milan, like Shanghai, is like a melting pot, accommodating Italians from all over the world for work. Immigrants from the South become "Northernized" by their second generation. In Milan, you can often meet some "mixed-race" children whose parents were born in the south and the north respectively.

They are both Italians, but their appearance and temperament are very different due to the different regions where they were born. This is both incredible and interesting.
