Everybody agree that Italy unlike the rest of the world has not a cultural identity and unity. That's cause till 153years ago Italy was divided in dozen of smaller nations. Each with a strong identity. But still the rest of Italy doesn't go around after 150 years yelling to everybody : We're not Italy! we're not Italians. Instead we unified and we think of ourself as abitant of a certain city, a citizen of a certain region of Italy and lastly as a italian. In fact some says that italians are truly united only when the "azzurri" play. But still over the decades we had out toons of nationalism.
About the hate of the south for the north is just a thing of Napolitans. There is no such a thing. The only haters in Sicily or Sardinia or elsewhere are napolitans who emigrated. That's cause lot of people from the south in the 60' moved to work to the north and people mixed a lot so why would you hate your parents??
Take myself as example. My father parents are from Sicily and they emigrated 60years ago. My father is born in Venaria (a comune attached to Turin) and my mother as well. My grandma from my mother side emigrated from Friuli her husband born in Geneva.
i'm the son of the south and north. I visited sicily (my grand parents own a Villa close to sea in Sicily) every year till i turned fifteen. I never noticed or heard of people hating the north.
And to finish anyone makes pride on themself and not on someonelse. Specially to napolitans.
Brasil is lucky compared to us. Great past but we are lost in a sea of problems which hardly will ever be solved. At least brazilians has a huge country full of resources and so on.
