Do the French and Italians dislike each other?

[JohnSmith]

I kind of think there is some animosity between them. In the USA the Italian and Irish Americans disliked each other but then ended up marrying each other.

Nowadays i don't think French people dislike Italians..There are a lot of other ethnic groups hated way more than them..

I don't think... not nowadays at least.

But obviously there are always rivalries: economically (also recent), in sports etc...

The French considered the Italian attack a stab in the back in WWII.

Italy's other embassies were informed of the declaration shortly before midnight.[46] Commenting on the declaration of war, François-Poncet called it "a dagger blow to man who has already fallen", and this occasioned United States President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's famous remark that "the hand that held the dagger has struck it into the back of its neighbor".[48]
