    The vast majority of Italian-Americans have roots south of Rome. Contrast this with Italians in Argentina and Brazil who are more central-northern, and you see some differences in culture and food. All the regions are interesting in different ways--sad they are becoming so similar

      @@JustMe-gs9xi the proportions were entirely different. US italians are 85% southern, Italians in argentina/brazil are 65-70% tuscan/northern, hence a different cuisine. Northern italians went to rural areas of brazil and argentina, southerners more confined to cities

      @@armchairsociologist7721wow Thank you. very interesting. Well,, my grandfather was from Naples.. and my Grandmother was from Salerno (lol not palermo) so they were both from Southern italy,,, Now, it's interesting,,, because my Grandmother's family (from Salerno),, DID go to Brazil.. Apparently ? there was work picking coffee beans. And then they went to the US,,,i think due to their looking for better opportunities. i So appreciate you filling in some gaps,,,,,,,im from boston,,, the stories of italian immigrants is fascinating.

      @@JustMe-gs9xi yes, southern and northern italians are very different - probably only India has as great internal differences. Some nationalist morons will try and suggest otherwise, but they are exactly that. Again: I never said no southern italians went to latin america, they just did not set the culture compared to northern italians. Even now, you can find (some) young people in Argentina and Brazil who are 100% northern italian, which is interesting because the peak migration years were from 1880-1910/1920

    Has anyone ever noticed that the north and south differences in Italy are similar to the Unites States?
    North- Industrialized, big cities, temperate climate, universities etc.
    South- Agricultural, hotter weather, more conservatives/religious folk, generally has better vacation spots

      We have 6,000 years of heritage from the founding fathers of the West, Italy does not exist and Italians do not exist, we are different peoples with different cultures, as I have already said here in the south we have 6,000 years of Western civilization and culture.

    My father's side was from the far south..Aspromonte area..and my mother's side from the farthest north..alpine area of Piemonte. Everything you said is true in my family as well. Unfortunately my parents split up and I believe many if the north- south differences were the cause. So many misunderstandings and differences of preferences, differences in expression, even differences of heat tolerance both in food and weather.. there were constant arguments. Intellectual interests and broadmindedness however were the same. Whew!
    There really are 2 very different cultural groups here between North and South, much more extreme than in other countries.

    As a southern italian, a thing i noticed living in Turin for 4 years, is that while in the south, if it's hot outside people will always wear shorts and flip-flops or sandals, in the north, even in the summer heat people will still wear long pants and closed shoes. There are many reasons i think it's this way but right now in Turin is way hotter than in Sicily so i wish wearing shorts and flip flops outside was more acceptable here.

      Southern Italy has a history and a culture totally different from the north, we are countries that in reality should be divided, not under this fake union, in the north for now it is better only economically but history, Culture and way of life are much superior here in the south, there is no comparison.

It's called the Amalfi Coast but the real pearl is Positano, much better than Capri in my opinion both seen by the sea or walking through them. Many restaurant with amazing view on the coast, but Da Bruno offered such a tuna tartare off the menù that now I can tell the real taste of fresh tuna! CAN'T MISS IT
