I keep hearing from italians that there is no such thing as an "italian" identity and that unification was a mistake.
>>3243375
Indeed
That's also how you spot an """""""""""""""italian"""""""""""""""""" a*erican. Only those brown subhumans with no identity believe that there's such a thing as an italian identity because they themselves have none
>>3243350
there were none
>>3243350
Considering there are literally hundrends of influencial Italian scientists, mathematicians, artists, explorers, poets, writers, politicians and battle commanders
No
There is this guy, but then also the likes of Da Vinci and Galileo so hard to choose.

His ancestry was from mainland Italy.

Corsicans spoke an Italian dialect
>>3244196
It's universally known, you moron
>>3244197
*s*rdinian dialect
>>3244204
Leaving aside the obvious notion that Sardinians are Italian to the bone, Northen Sardinian and Corsican are more or less the same dialect which is classified as a Tuscan dialect AKA Italian
>>3244183
yeah his parents were from tuscany but moved to corsica
then he was born an year after it became french
>>3244255
False, his parents were both born in Corsica.
The paternal side of his family originated from people who moved to Corsica from Italy two centuries before he was born, that means his ancestors probably mixed sine then with Corsicans, unless all his ancestors since his grand grand grand grand grand grand grand grand grand father only fucked their sisters Lannister style , it means he could be >90% Corsican for all we know

Being a romance language doesn't make it toscanian

Do you realize that those "dialetti" are actually different languages, and its clasiffication as "dialects" is more of a political stuff than an actual clasiffication, just like mandarin and cantonese?
>>3244348
rude
>>3243375
Italian identity is like German, English, Irish, ect. It is alot more nuanced with people being able to identity with the smallest communities. Italian identity existed but it wasn't so important to the people as their regional identity.
