Corruption and poverty primarily.

Not Life expectancy and Overall health.

Honestly I think people from the south have a different rhythm of life. They are able to doing well but they need their siesta etc.
I guess for their best they shouldn't be part of EU controlled by Germans.

I thought Italians drink Espresso everyday.

I do not know how to respond to that the Nordic model is best at reducing poverty. Meds have healthier people that live longer. It is a give and take.

What makes you happy but I insist, the Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and (until a few years ago) Greek economies kick many Nordic economies, as I already quoted.
And this is a fact that no one can deny.

Honestly I think people from the south have a different rhythm of life. They are able to doing well but they need their siesta etc.

Siestas (you say it as if in Central or North Europe siestas dont exist...) have nothing to do with economy, this assumption is extremely ridicolous.
Siestas happened after you have worked. For example, if you work from 7:00am to 15:00pm, you could take a siesta from 17:00pm to 17:30pm. Or whatever.

Now tell me in what way siestas decrease the economic productivity of a country

I guess for their best they shouldn't be part of EU controlled by Germans.

Indeed.
