North and South in Italy
North and South in Italy
You will notice the difference in the mindset of the people if you spend time both in the South and in the North of the country. The North, above all in big towns like Milan, is very connected to the Central Europe mentality. People can appear colder and they could appear obsessed with their jobs. The South is more connected to the Mediterranean area. People are in general more friendly but at the same time more hot-tempered, and with less of a European attitude.
It is useful to note that Lunch, Dinner and Closing-Time for shops in the South are very different from the North. In the South families may not eat dinner until after 22.00, in part because the breadwinner works until then.
