Do Italians like people from Southern Italy?


This is not as simple as it might seem. In 1847, the Austrian president Klemens von Metternich said that Italy was just a "geographical expression." He was talking about how the different states on our peninsula were divided and ran their own governments. Even now, the word "Italy" is still used as a simple regional term. Italy, which refers to the sometimes very big differences between the parts of our country that have been joined together for more than 150 years. From a scientific point of view, there are a lot of differences between people. To put it in an American way, the difference between people from the north and the south of Italy is the same as the difference between people from the north and the south of the United States who are white.
In 1200, a historian from Parma named Fra Salimbene de Adam wrote in a chronicle that southern Italians were "Sunt homines cacarelli et merdazzoli, parvique valoris," which means "They are chickenshit and cowardly men, without any value." This shows that people in the south of Italy were different from those in the north.
People tend to think that people in the North are boring, shy, very regular, and hard workers because they eat polenta and live in wealthy, cold places called Polentoni.
People often think of the South as the home of loud, irrational, religious, and family-oriented people, as well as bigots, morons, and the poor.
When people from the South go north, they always have something to say about everything. They complain about where they live because it's not their home, so they think it's bad. He moans that there is no sea, that there is no sun, that it is cold in the winter and hot in the summer, and that people are cold because they are not sticky like the people he is used to. Stereotypically, it's like if someone came to your house and asked to use the bathroom. Instead, he went to your bedroom and pooped on your bed, and if you said anything, he'd call you a racist. Since 80% of Italians in the U. S. are from the South, Southern Italian is the one most like Italian-American.
Before a lot of people from other states moved to the north, they were called Terroni (plural) or Terrone (sing). It is a nickname in the Italian language that people from the north of Italy use to make fun of or poke fun at people from the south. The word "Terrone" refers to a bad guy, a peasant, a rough person who acts like a child and makes a lot of noise, or someone who can't be trusted.
People have often thought that people from the south were not as good as those from the north. This was true until the 1990s. The southerner is the symbol of a state that doesn't work but crushes you like an octopus and drains your soul.
Not all southerners are like this, and there are a lot of good southerners, but this is how most people think of southerners.
Why do you ask Italians if they like Italians?😅
