Yes, exactly 🙂 Some of the prejudices you mentioned are captured in the strips too! This particular panel takes place during the Industrial Revolutions.Â
Im not Italian but I live in an Italian centric neighborhood and have been taking the language 4 the past 13 years in school. Im honestly not surprised that theres 2 italies-the north n south are so different. a good movie that really demonstrates this is “benvenuti al sud” (Im probably spelling welcome wrong orz) even between states/dialects, Italians r so bloody different. From physical appearances to the way they speak “italian” to individual prejudices against other Italians. Its uncanny.
