You're right, the diversity between any two regions of Italy is startling. Funnily enough, we were discussing it over dinner tonight, and my mum, being the full-blooded Italian she is, said that any other nation had a sense of solidarity, identity and Unity. In times of trouble, or when things get tough, whole communities gather together in a move of mutual support.
If so required, Italy would fail dismally. Every Region, every Province is singularly proud of its own inherent character and strength, but no two regions - not even neighbours - could link arms and stand together. Heck, with regard to Dialects, a Neapolitan couldn't understand Milanese, or vice-versa! I know - I tried it in Naples!
My family live in Piemonte, on Lago Maggiore.
Next year, we're going there!1
