What's the European cultural bloc that differs the most fromthe other 2? Germanic,Romance or Slavic?

Wich culture is more distant?

It would be easier to talk about countries, especially because Germanics and Slavs have a bit of confluence in Central Europe, Slavs have it with Romance in the Balkans and in some way the British Isles have got Romance on them too.

Ah, when it comes to personality, Germanics are aliens to me. What people describe to me as the modus vivendi of Scandinavians doesn't feel like normal human behaviour. So perhaps that is the answer.

Man, sometimes I've felt that, no offense.

Question: Do you think northern Italians are closer culturally to central Europe than the mezzogiorno?

Some people include Sudtirol and Friuli-Venezia-Giulia into Central Europe. I'm no specialist because my culture is a live fossil of what people did in Veneto at the 19th century mixed with some Gaúcho traits, and the place where I live is a caricature of South Italy and not that good of a representation.

But me? I feel closer to Central Europe when it comes to mindset than with the Mezzogiorno. We are far from the stereotype of passionate and obnoxious people usually related to (South) Italians. It helps that I know more Austrians and Germans than Meridionali also.
