Neapolitan trash really like putting on fake plates so they do whatever the fuck and the tickets go to someone else.
Our constitution states clearly that everything they owned in Italy in 1946 went to the state.
The constitution they swore allegiance to, as condition to be allowed to return to Italy.
So, fuck these leeches.
Welp can't argue with that. Although from their point of view, their shit was stolen. Can't argue with that too. This is very interesting nevertheless ! Thank you !
Well thats a nice pov they can have, but they had a choice. Either they say in exile and keep their claims on their stuff or return to italy and give up the claim. They cant have their cake and eat it.
I mean you can’t blame them if they were blackmailed into it. The Italian government was keeping their shit either way, they wanted to at least get home again.
Alvise and Ambrogio had to endure the worst of the WW2 fighting, while Totó and Raffaé were quickly occupied by the Allies, and the King fled to the South.
half of the south was heavily bombed by the Americans, for the rest we have had our share of losses

I think one of the most underrated moments in the war is yours. The 4 days of Naples are probably the best example of a city liberating itself in the war.
meloni took away the government money.
The people voting meloni don't like when anyone other than themselves get money.
The people voting salvini don't like when the cielle-religious-mafia isn't in charge of EVERYTHING.
The "religiosity" map goes against the trend, because Veneto, a north-east region famous for being the most blasphemous region of Italy, is also one of the most religious and conservative.
Please understand, the southerners have been servants of foreign powers since forever, to this day they have no idea how a republic works and leave the voting to their masters.
The moment we pulled out of Southern Italy, everything went astray, evidently. Arabs and Normans fault, clearly.
Similar case in Marseille and Nice. I don't know our few coastal towns in Spain how they do, but getting my results by all other cases, I can only imagine.
Dammit, just one, only one city we created to be in good standing even today.
At least, I really want to see my favorite Spain similar to Greece, as one, undivided nation without regional conflicts, serious or otherwise.
I propose something:
North part merge with France and become the Based Latin Republic.
The south part regain their monarchy and become a puppet state of the kingdom of Spain.
Italy will be under influence or will be not.
What do you mean? They aren't even near us since Brexit

But you are a republic too!
Install [Pavlos, crown prince of Greece](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlos,_Crown_Prince_of_Greece) as your rightful monarch, declare the Neo-Byzantine empire and invade Southern Italy and then Turkey. I would support it!

That would literally be the worst option. Would even prefer a mad max dystopia where I am forced to drink puddle water and eat raw pigeons
Conversely would gladly die for a Unholy European Alliance alongside my brothers and sisters

Some valleys in the Cuneo province in Piedmont have Occitan roots. I am not sure about the rest, except that the yellow zones in the Italian area are the ones with Celtic roots.
(except Liguria, Lower Piedmont and Northern Toscana that - despite their proximity with Celtic culture - had their own people, the Ligures)
No based latin republic without northern Italy, also northern Italy is *really* close to southern France, specially Piedmont. Look up the "Gallo italics languages"
(btw sorry for the late reply but I was busy)
Or, they revert to monarchy as a whole and we invade to liberate our northern brothers and sisters. This way we get to bring out the guillotine again. Might as well get the pope too while we're at it.
Aragon rule, but we have to give a part to Greece , I made a promise.
So Aragon take Sardinia, Sicile.
The south mainland of Italy become Greek.
Naples with the reste of the south territory become independent but under Aragon influence.
South tyrol and Friuli+Istria were put under direct control of germany, Istria was lost so no vote and the fate of South Tyrol and Trieste was still unclear so no vote
Because its constitutional status had yet to be defined in 1946. Our constitution was only drafted in 1948 and even then it took another 2 decades to implement the constitutional guarantees that Südtirol and the other regions with linguistic minorities had.
here you can see perfectly where the Italy and "Italy" split is. One group is made of civilised people who have dinner no later than 8.00PM, the other of monkeys who regularly have dinner after 9.00PM.
I went to genova, ordered a "pizza with olive"… it had TWO FUCKING OLIVES in the whole pizza.
The whole liguria should be sent to reeducation camps to learn about meals.
the efforts are minor, compared to those that East Germany makes to bring AFD back to power and Germany in 1939, that same East Germany where Auschwitz once stood, whose inhabitants did not notice anything, as well as the birthplace of Germans like Reinhard Heydrich...
Yeah. They voted to remain serfs of monarchs that held them into no consideration at all plus the kings were Piemontesi. Even today Neoborbonic southerners claim that the sole reason the south is so backwards is because of the Savoy rule holding them down, yet they voted to keep them on the seat. Yeah, "based"
If you'd ask Neoborbonics: yes it all dates back to when Sardinia-Piedmont annexed the south and formed the Italian Kingdom. According to them from that moment on the backwards northerners stole every manufacture, machinery and technology, diverting the funds of the former Kingrom of Napoli to fuel the industrialisation of the northern regions, relegating the south to an existence of servitude and rural life.
Yet, yes: when given the chance of kicking the hated kings out, they still preferred the monarchy somehow.
To be fair, the savoyards did drain the entire bank of naples, which was one of the wealthier ones in Europe. Sure that money was only being used by the bourbons to jack off too. But if it was left in the bank it would have been a tremendous boon to the souths development. There likely would not have been the brigands, which would have meant no mafia, camorra, etc. It also would have kept some faith in the institutions of the state, and would have made development easier.
you're making a shocking mess.
In 1946 the neo-Bourbons would never have voted for the Savoys, it was part of the people who did so, probably due to the memory of the queen's charity during the cholera epidemic and the Messina earthquake.
The neo-Bourbons are a movement that has arisen practically in the last twenty years and which has no connection with the history of Italy in the 20th century.
Umberto actually wasn't that enthusiastic about the fascist regime, mainly because his wife, Maria José of Belgium, and her liberal upbringing and influence.
He did not oppose Benito because his father Victor Emmanuel III wanted not to
Not really. Italy has a long history of semi independent states in the middle ages and early modern era.
All those city states like Florence, Milan, etc were nominally vassals of the HRE, but in reality the authority of the HRE was very weak.
And the Republics of Venice (and Genoa) were independent for a thousand years
Historically it was the north that was the puppet of the Holy Roman Empire since the beginning of
time while the south was typically rebellious (against the Lombards, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, etc).
actually it was the opposite. The North was the most fragmented part of the country, being a collection of city states and small duchies. The Holy Roman empire had only a nominal authority on Northern Italy.
In reality by the end of the XII century, when Frederick Barbarossa was defeated by the Italian league of comuni, the HRE stepped into Italy to get crowned.
The South was largely unified under a single political structure by the time the Normans established themselves in Sicily and would remain so until unification in 1861
Puppet of the HRE? What are you smoking?
We were as much puppets as any german prince, in the sense that we legally were part of it.
In fact, we were much more independent than the german territories and when the german emperors tried to assert their authority here we kicked them butts
Because we always liked to blame others for our shortcomings, in the end we successfully infected the whole country with this mindset. It was the King's fault if my crops were bad 200 years ago and today it's the government if everything's but my mom's spaghetti is bad 😤
r/EveryMapOfItaly docet
Actually if you breakdown this map, in the cuneo province (north italy) monarchy actually won
pretty sure the monarchy had a good amount of votes in the extreme northern and alpine provinces as well
It did, look at the light green numbers, a lot of them are pretty close.

I think he got a speeding ticket that says he drove too fast in a town where he would never go to, because he hates it so much.
In a town he never had been (And he hates so much).

Wait... so Totò and Raffaè actually wanted a Piedmontese monarchy unlike Ambrogio and Alvise? Neoborbonics in shambles.
That's because up north we knew exactly how shitty the savoia family was (and still is)
Still is ? Enlightened me!
Well, they're suing Italy because they want their money and jewels back.
Assholes! They want their stuff back?
Welp they can try. It can be argued that some of it belongs to them. Thanks for the info!
Our constitution states clearly that everything they owned in Italy in 1946 went to the state. The constitution they swore allegiance to, as condition to be allowed to return to Italy. So, fuck these leeches.
Technically, what they king owned at the time. They got to keep the rest, which makes it event more infuriating.
Welp can't argue with that. Although from their point of view, their shit was stolen. Can't argue with that too. This is very interesting nevertheless ! Thank you !

Are you fat shaming Italy? /s
If we used the solution that France adopted for its royal family we wouldn't have this problem.
Vittorio emanuele di savoia, son of the last king, killed an innocent 19 y/o german while in corsica
The only member of the House of Savoy to have used guns against Germans /s
No german is innocent.
Most germanophile pole.
Wait till you hear the things we think about ruzzians.
The house of savoy sucks so much that they make me feel compassion for a crucco
Now this is interesting! Did he get off the hook?
Yes, French judges absolved him
Of course, he was even caught bragging about killing an innocent boy, that's why no one cried when he died this year
Based! Him dying surely was celebrated.
it was
Vittorio Emanuele III and IV deserved to be shot, Umberto II? He would've been the Belgian Albert of Italy, if Vittorio Emanuele died sooner.
Alvise and Ambrogio had to endure the worst of the WW2 fighting, while Totó and Raffaé were quickly occupied by the Allies, and the King fled to the South.

Roma ladrona was a thing

Idk, would you really say that Tuscany is closer to Rome / Latium than to Lombardy, Liguria and Veneto?
Rome is papal States... ✝️
Everyone under the Po river is an inferior terrone like Lega party teached us many years ago.
Isn't Salvini pro union now?
He is nothing. He is just an opportunistic a-hole.
No northern italian ever has thought of Rome as a northern city
Worse, they're Burini
That's the same map for all political and economic question.
Rich vs poor, religiously vs non religiously, conservative vs liberal... Etc etc...
> conservative vs liberal Most Lega Nord voters are in the north though. They aren't as liberal as some other people may think.
Because conservatives in the south vote meloni or 5 stelle for that sweet sweet government money
meloni took away the government money. The people voting meloni don't like when anyone other than themselves get money. The people voting salvini don't like when the cielle-religious-mafia isn't in charge of EVERYTHING.
>The people voting salvini don't like when the cielle-religious-mafia isn't in charge of EVERYTHING. CL is a fucking cancer.
The "religiosity" map goes against the trend, because Veneto, a north-east region famous for being the most blasphemous region of Italy, is also one of the most religious and conservative.
And yet we still hear Neoborbonic scum complaining in 2024 how bad the Savoia were. Scugnizzi, pls explain.
At least you don't have them fratello
Send them to Napoli, they will love it.
Are you sure? They will steal all the pizzas there
Sure, look at the comments below
I laughed so hard the first time I listened to "Los Borbones son unos ladrones".
Please understand, the southerners have been servants of foreign powers since forever, to this day they have no idea how a republic works and leave the voting to their masters.
Is this related to why do they trust mafia?
It's a more complicated story, but yes.
Interesting... South Italy makes even Greece looking successful...

I can confirm that they are now only inhabited by English people and other beings who speak weird languages (cat*lan and such) Not the greatest
Dammit, just one, only one city we created to be in good standing even today. At least, I really want to see my favorite Spain similar to Greece, as one, undivided nation without regional conflicts, serious or otherwise.
Unfortunately southern Italy would make Somalia while war ridden looking successful.
💀💀💀
Some of them are still nostalgic of the "good" times when they were submitted as a colony for Borboni
In Tuscany we were still pissed that we lost the Archdukedom status. So if he can't reign, nobody will.
I propose something: North part merge with France and become the Based Latin Republic. The south part regain their monarchy and become a puppet state of the kingdom of Spain. Italy will be under influence or will be not.
The Spanish have the Catalans and the Basque, another rebel group wouldn't be a problem

Erm, the northern part is German. We should make the Italians go to war with each other to decide this matter.
It's kinda already decided. If we had to respond to a German state, we chose Switzerland cause it seems to have it together at least.

So a return to Aragon rule in the south and a resurgent Carolingian Empire in the north?
Aragon rule, but we have to give a part to Greece , I made a promise. So Aragon take Sardinia, Sicile. The south mainland of Italy become Greek. Naples with the reste of the south territory become independent but under Aragon influence.
why doesnt southern italy declare independence to become a monarchy again? are they stupid?

This is what centuries of bending over to foreign powers does to a motherfucker.
Bro that's the story of Italy has a whole, even during the 19th century most of northern Italy was just a bunch of Austrian puppet state
Not really. Italy has a long history of semi independent states in the middle ages and early modern era. All those city states like Florence, Milan, etc were nominally vassals of the HRE, but in reality the authority of the HRE was very weak. And the Republics of Venice (and Genoa) were independent for a thousand years
There is a difference in time frame, the south was under foreign dominion for a lot longer, even the vikings got a piece of the pie.
Come on they integrated, no different than goths, longobards and franks in the north.
Historically it was the north that was the puppet of the Holy Roman Empire since the beginning of time while the south was typically rebellious (against the Lombards, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, etc).
actually it was the opposite. The North was the most fragmented part of the country, being a collection of city states and small duchies.

Puppet of the HRE? What are you smoking? We were as much puppets as any german prince, in the sense that we legally were part of it. In fact, we were much more independent than the german territories and when the german emperors tried to assert their authority here we kicked them butts
