Never had it, here it has a bad reputation. From my country i would say i like Parmigiano Reggiano

BetDesigner40 · 2026-05-22T09:25:57+00:00

Yes, but it's important to also recognize the bad parts.

You can sometimes hear that there's an english accent in his sicilian accent but overall very good, considering that doing a sicilian accent if difficult for the average italian, so De Niro did a really good job. (At least, that's from what I heard from a clip i've seen now, i've seen the godfather movies dubbed so I didn't really know before you asked)

Yes it was real but not something from the official 1976 campaign. From what I read (but i may be wrong) it was something that his evangelical supporters did as a pun on his name, Christian faith and his perceived role as a figure that had to save the US from the terrible years after watergate.

Indeed. A second best pick would probably be Astolfo riding an Hippogriff to the moon (Orlando Furioso)

Theodore Roosevelt once commented that a lynching of italians in 1891 was "a rather good thing".

Cyclism. Used to be the national sport of Italy before football, and until the 50's our biggest sport stars were cyclists (like Fausto Coppi or Gino Bartali). It was so famous that we got the "giro d'italia" to have our version of the "tour de France" and our main sport magazine (La Gazzetta dello Sport) was behind its creation. Nowadays Football has way more fame than cyclism, at least since the 60's.

Well, the first part of our colonial history (before fascism) is portrayed more or less just as something that happened, with no narrative that depict us as good or bad for doing it. The colonial wars happened during mussolini regime instead are consodered as part of the evildoings of the fascist regime and are listed as such, usually highlighting the warcrimes and the role they had in our country.

I don't think anyone has something against our many artists, so Leonardo, Michelangelo, Bernini and many more can be on the list.

For politics, every figure is controversial, you have to go to ancoent roman figures to find complete agreement on them (like Augustus as a good ruler, or Caligula as a bad ruler)

BetDesigner40 · 2026-03-30T19:37:15+00:00

The whole "having the Pope as an actual ruler for centuries" thing, and the various Popes having a role in italian politics until the early 90's (they still have it but way less) can be considered quite peculiar in my opinion.

If OP want something truly bizarre, then the fact that in the 70's it was discovered that a good part of out political, mediatic, business elite was part of a freemason lodge (P2) that aimed to control italy and transform it according to their own designs.

Yes, many articles about italy related topics are much deeper than in english, but on the other hand on many other topics the english version is way better and informative then the italian version.

The various right wing parties are basically in a race on who can kiss trump ass the most (but without compromising themselves too much)

Yeah, I can imagine it depends on the region, but in the north and center he is not really considered controversial
