No entiende

Good steak, ancient corny Italian being spoken, historical socialist bastion, what else do you want to know?

Overall a respectable region but gets memed a lot because Tuscans are "peculiar".

>>69051074
That's where Napoleon was from.

Also, Galileo, DaVinci, Michaelangelo, quite a few Popes and the Medicis.

It's where modern western civilisation began, I would say.

Without Tuscan brilliance, we would still think the earth was the centre of the universe, and we'd still be stuck in the dark ages.

Why do you talk about the scientific advancements and the popes aka backwardness in the same sentence?

>this meme again

without the Church you'd be speaking in grunts and clubbing the tribesman next door to death for looking at you wrong.

>>69051531
The struggle was part of the journey. Also, like >>69051571 says, the church had positive and negative aspects. Much of the groundwork for academia came from the clergy, since they had a monopoly on knowledge and education before the enlightenment.

We are in 2016 and not normal people aka fedoras are those Christians.
The USA are probably the only one wealthy country with Italy and Portugal although they aren't as rich to give an important place to religion.

>>69051874
Not sure what you're saying but I know you're opposing me so I want you to know I oppose *you* now.

>>69051826
the reason much of the knowledge from the Classic age survived the Middle Ages is because the Church kept it there, also clergymen were the most educated people in the same period, without the knowledge they preserved and the scientific and philosophical advancement produced by some members of the Church we'd have a very different world today.
