Northern Italians and Tuscans are white and are therefore the real Italians.
Apulians and Calabrians are Greek garbage.
Sicilians are filthy Moors and are so assblasted about not being white, they shitpost on Albanian manlet advice and support boards.

Is there a country in the world with more well-known cities than Italy?

Even someone with very little worldly knowledge has heard of Rome, Venice, Florence, Milan, Pisa, Naples, and Pompeii.

Fair enough. But considering population size, geographical size, and modern relevance, it's not as impressive as much as it is expected.

If you get the chance, there's a reasonably condensed book about post-Roman Italy titled In Pursuit of Italy by David Gilmour. It mostly focuses on Italian history in relation to unification, but it's bretty gud nonetheless.

I think Italy blows every other nation out of the water.
Best set of inventors by far: The following inventions among many others can be credited to Italians: construction: paved roads, arched bridges, aqueducts; art and music: piano, harpsichord, violin, viola, cello, bass, opera; science and technology: electric battery (Volta), telephone (Meucci), radio (Marconi), microprocessor (Faggin), moveable type (Castaldi), loudspeaker (Marzi), sound on film (Rappazzo), thermometer (Santorio), barometer (Torricelli), compass (Gioja), seismograph (Cecchi), telescope (Galileo), nuclear reactor (Fermi), internal combustion engine (Matteucci, Barsanti), first petrol engine (Bernardi), steam turbine (Branca), jet engine (Campini), carburetor (DeCristoforis), hydraulic motor (Ramelli), helicopter (Forlanini), hydrofoil (Forlanini), seaplane (Calderara), motor scooter (D'Ascanio), eyeglasses (Spina, D'Armate), torpedo (Luppis), revolver (Broccu); food: espresso, capucinno, pasta (not invented in China), pizza.

They had the best set of explorers: Marco Polo, Cristoforo Colombo (Christopher Columbus), Amerigo Vespucci (America), Giovanni Caboto (John Cabot), Verrazzano

Best artists and sculptors: Leonardo DaVinci, Michaelangelo, Botticelli, Ghiberti, Bartolini, Donatello, Rafael, many others

Composers: Monteverdi, Cavalli, Vivaldi, Verdi, many others

Writers, historians, and philosophers: Ovid, Livy, Lucretius, Pliny, Plutarch, Seneca, Virgil, Cicero, Boccaccio, Petrarch, Machiavelli, Cicero, Marcus Aurelius, Dante, Thomas Aquinas, Anselm, many others

Pretty much all of the so-called 'finest' physical things in life are made by Italians: the finest paintings, finest sculpture, finest foods (maybe competing with French food), finest clothes, finest cars (Lamborghini, Ferrari, Pagani), finest construction and building materials. No other nation comes close to matching Italians for craftsmanship.

Anyone have any serious challengers?

It has Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Koln, Frankfurt and many other well-known cities.

nobody would be able to recognize half those cities on a photo.

>>2099163
I think the only British city everyone's familiar with is London. Most people wouldn't be able to recognize the others in photos.

Rome, Venice, Paris, Moscow and London are all in the same league of recognizability because of their hallmarks. Berlin maybe, too.
