Any curiosity about life in Italy? How it is really like to live in the northern part of the boot shaped peninsula?
So, I am a father, I love and have cats and dogs, live in a small town in northern Italy, and and I work full time in a field related to software, technology and loosely transportation. I also lived in Rome, one of the biggest northern italy metropolies, and in smaller places like Pisa.
In a previous life I traveled around lots of the world and in my current life I am training for an Ironman.
All of this, while living in the above mentioned country.
Specially for US lemmiers, but also people from other parts of the world, anything you want me to explain, clarify or just answer about all of the above?
It’s a bit more complex than that.
We celebrate the 25th of April as Freedom Day, we don’t celebrate killing people even if they where dictators. Its bad taste.
Also, it seems that more then half of italy still like Mussolini and his legacy so.
Also, north Italy was also the place where the Repubblica di Saló, or the last fascist strongold, was located. So I guess it’s not a matter of north and south, rather of fascists and non fascists, which where both equally shared among the country.
So no commemoration, and a bit of second thoughts also on freedom day given how many new fascists ww have. Mind me, they are also pretty ignorant of their own history, so… Go figure.
