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.

Italy is also the world best at being submissive to German kings and emperors.
Also, you mentioned Cicero twice.

I believe France is better.

I think paved roads are our single greatest invention. Even in the 18th century, great empires such as France and Britain still used roads built in Roman times.

Marco Polo and Tesla were Croats

Bullshit list, for example, China did a great wall with a paved road on top 6 centuries before the Roman empire was founded. Greeks had paved roads too. It cannot be credited to Italians.

>"Italian" "History"
You mong realize that Italy wasn't a country for a long time? It was mostly just small rebublics and dukedoms until it was btfo by Nappie and then started to slowly centralize. Before that it wuz rome and got rekted by 1 oh wait 2, no by three different Germanic migrations. Glorious History from 700bc- 300ad Other than that it was just a european breadbasket people wanted to conquer. Just like Poland has been the european cumbucket for last few hundred years.
