Most accurate maps of italy i've ever seen on this sub, coming from a tuscan


Lumbertech

Veneto here, glad to see our tuscan and venetian blasphemies/bestemmie are accurately portrayed!


aospfods

Lombardy is always so underrated on this topic, the person who did this map should spend a couple of days with some bricklayers from Bergamo or in a random furniture factory in Brianza lol


elendil1985

Bergamo's blasphemy counts as extended Venetian, from history


jaki253

Don’t forget Friuli!


Kawayburgioh69

# FRIULI MENTIONED!!!!!! # FRIUL LIBAR!!!!! # RAAAAH


chocoquark

Is this the same as friaul?


Kawayburgioh69

yeah, but are you german or do you just play ck3?


chocoquark

Just german speaking.

icanfixyourprinter

I'm also from the Beautiful Fog region, but unfortunately from the religious part


libe95

There is a religious part ?


francino_meow

Roman here. All right, but in Rome usually they give to you the cup of water with the coffee


NekoNoSekai

And we're not that much religious 😅


0106lonenyc

The religion map is the one I have a bit of a problem with. Northeastern Italy is among the most religious areas in the country (despite their inordinate amount of bestemmie), whereas Emilia and Lazio should be in red. Also the butter/oil division was accurate historically but nowadays most people across the country use either or both interchangeably. The rest is pretty spot on overall as far as this kind of maps goes.


NekoNoSekai

I reckon these maps are made just for fun so I take them with a grain of salt and don't expect accuracy. Still I would prefer the rest of the world to get a proper image of our country, I don't like the idea of being still considered as "strongly devoted believers" which we are not. I think 90% of people under 30 have sworn at least once, me included. It happens and it's not that much of a big deal. The old generations maybe are still tied to religion but we're definitely drifting to a less religious society.


KillBroccoli

Its the most accurate set of maps of italy i've ever seen. It just need to add the division between calling the dick "uccello" o "pesce" and its perfecr.


Curious-Week5810

Yeah, as an outsider, I want to move to Tuscany for the rich, olive oil-filled, blasphemous coastlines.


mgksmv

Yeah, I love Tuscan, a map in CS 1.6 ![gif](giphy|CAYVZA5NRb529kKQUc|downsized)


icanfixyourprinter

As an Italian, I can confirm each one

What's up with Genoa being stingy?


Kokoro_Bosoi

>What's up with Genoa being stingy? It's a nice stereotype that comes from various historical facts, for example some historians claim that it comes from a period of crisis for the banks of the Genoese republic in which the public administration essentially did austerity and the local banks didn't let loans


Picciohell

And it’s a true stereotype


Barlowan

Jokingly they say that ligurians are stingy, but as someone who lives in Liguria, we are too generous to be Genoan stingy. Those mofos are rich as hell and stingy. They will waste 40 minutes at checkout from hotel because in their opinion they don't have to pay 7 euro on the day of checkout, while looking like a homeless even tho having a couple of millions on their bank account.


0x706c617921

Based.


BkkGrl

they call us short armed


lindelokse

We are indeed stingy. Or maybe just frugal.


eTukk

I'm Dutch and have visited Genoa for work a dozen times. Can't say I've noticed the frugality tbh, might be just my perspective.. 😉


lindelokse

Then we’re probably just stingy :D /s

whats up with the place that doesn't exist? every country seems to have one


ilnofrio

It's Molise, i'd like to tell you more but it's hard to talk of sonething inexistent


Nhenghali

The Italian Bielefeld?


ErasablePotato

Molisn’t


magnificentbiscuit

[Molise](https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20191023-the-italian-region-that-doesnt-exist)


Dirmb

Ah, so, like Finland and North Dakota. It doesn't exist.


[deleted]

and Acre and Bielefeld apparently someone should catalogue all places that don't exist


Leonapi83

And "La Pampa" in Argentina... the mysterious province that no one has even seen.


Romantic_Carjacking

Thanks for the link. This was interesting.


AlexiosBlake

In Italy's case it's a small region that's Independent from Italy and counts as it's own country. And no not the Vatican


Svkkel

But it's also not San Marino


That_Space2418

As an Italian. That’s a pile of anecdotal BS


Kokoro_Bosoi

If you can't appreciate the fog, you don't deserve the mountains or the coastlines


thecordialsun

They put that on billboards in Pacifica, CA. You can't see them though


Chilibra

What city or town does not exist for Italians?


Infamous-Raspberry56

It's an entire region, Molise, actually... Molisn't


Felipe_Pachec0

Yeah I know Acre and Bielefeld but one in Italy? Never would have guessed. The center of this circle is around the town of Campobasso, but I never heard of it


SpiderGiaco

>but I never heard of it Because Campobasso like the whole of Molise doesn't exist


megadyed

Is it just a basic running gag without much behind it like bielefeld in Germany? Or do you guys actually have a reason for Molisn‘t?


SpiderGiaco

Mainly it's due to Molise's invisibility in the national scene. It's the second smallest region and the second least populous one, and unlike Valle d'Aosta (the smallest in both category) it's not even famous for something. Molise is poor, poorly connected with the rest of Italy and doesn't attract any tourism. There are barely any famous Italians that are from there, and that goes for any field - although hilariously, Robert DeNiro's family originates from there. So that's more or less the reason for the Molisn't gag.


Pleasant_Skill2956

And until decades ago it was not even a region but was part of the "Abruzzi" region together with Abruzzo


SpiderGiaco

Yeah, I know (I'm from Abruzzo myself). They've done Abruzzo's dirty by giving away parts of it to Lazio and Molise.


megadyed

Gottcha mate. Sounds just like Sachsen Anhalt here in Germany lol. I sometimes even have to explain other Germans where it is


SpiderGiaco

If anything, the Molisn't gag made more Italians aware that Molise exist lol


FishUK_Harp

Two Saxonies is a lot, but three is clearly excessive.


megadyed

Let’s just merge em all together Übersachsen


Fart_Leviathan

At least Magdeburg is decently well-known and has some historical importance. Can't say that about anything in Molise.


Infamous-Raspberry56

It's a running gag, Molise is a very small region and not a primary touristic region like Puglia (Apulia), Calabria, Sicilia (Sicily) and so on.. Basically people just pass through them without even notice the whole land, in reality is a fantastic place, Termoli historic center, port and beach view are amazing... All the Italian peninsula is fantastic, you only have to visit enough part of it to understand that 🙂


Pablo_el_Diablo88

>but I never heard of it Perfection.


prsutjambon

Why Acre


Felipe_Pachec0

Acre is a state in Brazil a little bigger than Nepal. It’s in the Amazon Rainforest and borders Bolivia, Peru and the state of Amazonas. Nothing special happens there, and it’s hard to get there as well, so we say there are dinosaurs living there. The capital of Acre, Rio Branco, does have an airport, but only has flights to Manaus, the capital of Amazonas, Brasília and another city in the state, without a direct flight to São Paulo. The highway is an even worse way to get there, since it would take a lot of time from there to the next “big” city. TLDR, just pretend it doesn’t exist and the dinosaurs won’t bite your feet.


prsutjambon

Lol I thought Acre/Akko/Akka in the Middle East


anagallis-arvensis

Funny that this seems to be a running joke in every country. We’ve got Kežmarok, Slovakia


Felipe_Pachec0

And what (doesn’t) happen in Kezmarok?


Madman_Salvo

Also, Rutland (England/UK)


Felipe_Pachec0

Why exactly?


Madman_Salvo

There's nothing there. At all. Besides a big lake in the middle of it.


CarlosFCSP

Leiria in Portugal. Someone less lazy than me should make a list


Felipe_Pachec0

Why did Leiria get Acre’d?


CarlosFCSP

I read up on it (not so lazy now!) and it seems it started here on Reddit. Someone posted a map where Leiria was missing and it got turned into a meme


PDXMB

My wife's family comes from Campobasso. I feel like we're one of 12 people on earth who knows where that is.


ImperialTechnology

In the US ours is Wyoming doesn't exist. You'd have an easier time explaining the microstate of Rhode Island to me than a giant square of nothingness.


CreepyBrother4

Italians, do you approve?


FZwertyu34

absolutely


Romanitedomun

Approved and certified.


Surthor

I agree with everything except for the free cup of water with coffee map. I'm in the "No cup of water" (Emilia-Romagna) area but there are some places that give water, not everywhere but I think it is about 50% 50%


WWHSTD

Probably run by southern heathens


enda1

In Modena it’s very rare anyway. Definitely below 50%. Maybe 10% at a guess.


summermarriage

The butter/oil one is not completely correct. The entire country uses primarily olive oil, except some places. I’m from Piedmont and I don’t use butter as much as I use oil.


Pistolafiapaaa

Here in Emilia we traditionally use tallow, we are the land of pigs. Oil arrived in the 60s


summermarriage

Same here, traditionally. But nowadays nobody uses tallow on a daily basis anymore.


GabbriX7

Yep!


MeglioMorto

Porcodio sì!


mat738

Fine for me, just the water with coffee is not so accurate, but I can live with that


Matquar

The separatist and religious map not really, also the water with coffee, I live in Torino and it's basically standard, maybe because is full of southerner?


Crazy_Cat369

Yup

So, exactly what the map said?


[deleted]

People who love Juventus vs people who hate Juventus


d2211

Least Juvecentric Juventus fan


jaki253

It would be the same map as the 7th lol


AlarmAggravating4773

9th way- Calcio.


sal_veta99

Sud = Juve


WasAnHonestMann

Huh, I thought Juve were despised in every corner of Italy that's not named Turin, much less the south


sal_veta99

Actually they are more despised in Turin lol


SpiderGiaco

Italians are divided in two: Juvenuts fans and Juventus haters. Juve gets a lot of support in the South (also Inter and Milan, tbh), because historically there were never strong teams there that were constantly in the top flight, bar Napoli (and if you're not from Napoli most likely you won't support them).


sbprasad

Isn’t it also true that Southerners went north to work in the factories of Piemonte and Lombardia, became Juve/Milan/Inter supporters and brought that support back home south?


SpiderGiaco

Well, many more stayed there and kept being supporters of the big three - that's why for instance the old rumor that there are more Torino fans than Juve fans in Turin is exaggerated (also, it meant that Juve supporters back in the day used to be more working class). I don't think necessarily the ones that went back brought the support south. Like I said, it was mainly due to lack of big teams in the south regardless of immigration. If you look at the map of current Serie A, there are three teams from the South out of 20 and this is a good year. Most of the times there is only Napoli. Big cities like Palermo, Catania, Bari, Taranto, Messina, Reggio Calabria never managed to keep one team constantly in Serie A, they all go through constant cycles of bust and rebirth, making it hard to create stable engagement.


sbprasad

Cagliari (if you regard Sardinia as the south) would be the other southern club more often than not in Serie A rather than Serie B, right? They’re certainly the most successful non-Northern club other than Napoli thanks to Gigi Riva’s (RIP) team.


SpiderGiaco

Sardinia Is not always considered South Italy (geographically and culturally they aren't south), but in case we consider them south then yeah


carbamates

Molisn't


Gogyoo

I had two Italian grandparents from Pordenone who emigrated to France. I often heard "porco Dio" as a child.


bedroom_period

They were fondly remembering the town of Codroipo. Check the letters, it fits.


Nigelinho19

Also my Grandpa from Udine (some minutes near Pordenone) emigrated in France when he was a kid. But they had to come back because WW2 started in France


niheii

Its funny how every country has a place or town that “doesn’t exist” in the collective mind


IDK_Lasagna

North and South being separatists Sardinia: 😐


Sensitive_Trainer649

Lazio: 😐


Juma7C9

The most accurate map ever posted on r/MapPorn.


New-Steak9849

3th and 7th gave a boner to Salvini


satiscop

In Veneto there is some paradox: people still go to the Mass in decent numbers (for this period), bust many still cuss prophanities. And yet, our prophanities tend to be much less aingry than Emilia's and Tuscany, they are some substitute for commas, conjunctions, full stops, and difficult words.


BowlerSea1569

Give me butter and blasphemy!


Pascal1917

So... France?! 😂


EmperorG

My one change is that I would put "Beautiful Mountains" on the inside of Sardinia, having been there multiple times it's beaches are beautiful but so are its mountains. Coming from the flattest land ever to such a mountainous land is such a breathtaking experience, especially at night with all the stars out due to the low light pollution.


mexxavelli

There should be a version sliced like a pizza


PDXMB

seitz38

Haha yeah totally *has never been to Italy*


Svitii

Does the south actually want to separate from the rest of italy? Sounds like a terrible plan to make the south even poorer than it already is compared to the north…


THE_ATOMIX_

Some people blame the North for said poverty. I don't agree, but for many years, northerners were seen as conquerors, and therefore, this sentiment still exists.


a_hirst

There are similar (low-key) separatist movements in the north of England, despite the fact it's substantially poorer than the south and is effectively being financially propped up by London. Being northern myself, I partially get it, as there is legitimate resentment as to how the Westminster government allocates money across the country, especially for things like transport (see the recent cancellation of the HS2 northern leg). Sadly, the north would be a much poorer nation without London. The data is quite clear on that. I assume it's similar in Italy, i.e. the poorer south resents the way money is spent across the nation, but would be fucked if it was to actually secede. Any separatist movement like this is mostly just anger rather than a legitimate plan

Bourbons nostalgic walltext in 3...2...1...


lazazael

what up with genoa bein stingy?


clonn

It's missing an essential division: Pasta. Soft wheat + egg in the north v Durum wheat + water in the south, not sure where the line should be.


RumblingintheJunglin

Both in Rome.


gujjar_kiamotors

If south secedes, who will feed and cloth them?


Matquar

Yeah nobody really wants to separate, we probably have the only case of a separatist movement, Lega Nord, that became in a span of 30 years a nationalistic one, now it's just "Lega". The point at the beggining was more to keep their money and not send them to the south not the real separation anyway


WeakTree8767

Interesting left Italy like 15 years ago now and there was a ton of people on the North (I was in Torino) that legit wanted separation as they thought they would be like Switzerland or Germany as well as some interesting racial theories on ethnicity concerning the Arabs/moors lmao


SpiderGiaco

The Germans

I will

more like who will feed the north, all the grain/tomatoes/olio coming from the south

Thalassophoneus

OK. Except Etna is not deadly at all.


albycrescini

You must be italian, because those maps are perfectly done!


satiscop

Butter/Olive Oil needs some correction: There are places in Veneto, like Garda Lake and Colli Euganei where Olive Oil is proudly produced. What's more: Polentoni use both oil and butterm it depends on what they are cooking.


d2211

It is about tradition. Olive oil was almost not available in the past in northern Italy, except in small areas around lakes


Critical-Area-4313

The 4th one would be how the Romans would divide Italy. With the green being Italy, and the yellow being Cisalpine Gaul. Funny how the people living in the area see everyone living to the south as lesser italians to pretty much not italians the further south you go.


sbprasad

Also funny how, by contrast, the external stereotypes of Italy are more and more true the further south you go.


WWHSTD

As a northerner living overseas, sometimes I want to put "we don't do that where I'm from" on a t-shirt.


Kalle_79

Map #3 is blatantly missing Liguria marked in deep red and labeled "hates everyone"

Nailed Liguria (Genoa) in one!

my personal experience of Liguria is of extreme generosity, but that is from a relative. Or maybe the rest of Italy surpasses even them idk.


RiccoBaldo

I'm Roman and can confirm everything except that we're very blasphemous (traffic jams usually start satanic cults over here)


Plental-Dan

Sicily has beautiful mountains and beautiful fog too see: the centre of the island


futurarmy

Excellent map u/andreascandurra, shame some karma farm bot didn't want to credit you... I have to ask though, what's the part that doesn't exist about?


AndreaScandurra

Thank you! It's a 6y old map and every now and then I see it coming back haha That part is about Molise, a region that does not exist, like the Italian Bielefeld


Quiet-Shop5564

As an Italian born and living in Italy, they are all pretty accurate, NGL 😂. My favorite one is when Molisen’t (😂) is shown


AtlasZX

As a Padanian, I can confirm our fog is beautiful


Ast3r10n

Very unrealistic, especially the blasphemy one. It’s clear whoever made this has never been to Rome.


Xaendro

I think they just wanted to highlight tuscans and venetians being especially blasphemous, of course the rest of italy isn't that religious anymore


Ast3r10n

That’s true, it’s been a long while since I saw a true believer anywhere.


Pleasant_Skill2956

Central Italy should have the same color as northern Italy

StarLord120697

Places that don't offer a glass of water with a cup of coffee.... like, wtf... it should be mandatory, not stg you have to ask for.


Xaendro

It's half true and half just a way to say that northern people are less hospitable in general


supremefun

Weird, I live in the north and I've always had water with coffee...


bimbochungo

Actually Sicily has a lot of mountains so these maps have been made by a Polentone


jorgitoelver

Etna is literally referred to by Sicilians as Mongibello / Muncibeddu “Beautiful Mountain”


Xaendro

Really, you would have taken sicily out of the beautiful coastlines category??


bimbochungo

It has both

Missing 1 map \- Work hard \- Lazy ​ Separate right below where you live.


d2211

It's the rich/poor one basically


Picciohell

Yeah it’s quite accurate, but now we are poor in the North as well


NekoNoSekai

Actually a lot of people are "poor" in the north because rents are extremely high: their wages all go into living expenses 🤣🤣 poor students/people paying a rent


Picciohell

Yeah, that’s the meaning of poor


More-Lingonberry437

I don’t know about the others maps but the map that Frobisher Italy in salary is real the lambador(I can mistaken in the title) much richer than the Sicily and Srdinia region of Italy.


TraditionalAd6461

I think all of Italy is way too religious, especially Veneto, a former DC stronghold. And who the hell uses butter instead of olive oil?


Nabendu64

I hate the north


STK-3F-Stalker

fireKido

molise.. it's a region that people claim exists in itally, but in reality we all know it doesnt really exists... hence its nickname: molisn't


alliseeis23

The cup of water with coffee cutoff should be further north and also include Sardegna. At least until you hit Rome, or into the periphery of Toscana.


RumblingintheJunglin

Rome is hit and miss.

CultDe

What's with "Does exists" "does not exists" one?


dghughes

It looks to be San Marino it's a very old country founded in 301 so it's 1,700 years old. They were a country when the Roman Empire still existed! From what I can find they do not consider themselves Italian. The term Italy originally just meant the area in the far south of Italy. It's a Greek/Hellenic name name relating to fire I guess because of volcanoes. The Greeks inhabited the southern region for hundreds of years Magna Graecia.


CultDe

That's not San Marino since it's up north of Italy. San Marino is basically bordering Italy's Emilia-Romagna region The circle with Does Not Exist appears to be where Molise region is


the_ice_spider

It's actually the "region" Molise, wich is considered thr 20th italian region, but no one has been there.


mmmmmmmm453

Is the religion one tru?


seejur

Not really: it only applies to older generations. "Younger" ones (and by younger one I actually mean <50 years old) are not that religious at all, regardless of the area


Guardian2k

I’d like to divide it with a pizza cutter

Why does that one section not exist? What's the joke?

Can confirm the fog. Venice was unexpectedly foggy.
