It is Southern Europe

Southern Europe is diverse much like Balkans (of which Croatia and Slovenia are also parts of)

None of Italy is Central Europe. That doesn't mean it doesn't has similarities with Central Europe.

Italy influenced Central Europe far more than vice versa. But it has more similarities with the rest of Italy.

Northeast, yes.

Just Triveneto.

where is the mediterranean environment in northern italy? please explain me..

[Stears]

If there is one region in Italy that is culturally and anthropologically closest to Central Europe it is Venice...

They even destroyed Rome, other Italians would never have done that...

Wrong. Venice has always been mediterranean power. It never belong to central Europen history or culture.

[Stears]

North Italy is the Mediterranean part of Central Europe.
I hope this statement is going to make everyone happy.


I have been in Trieste and Rijeka/Fiume; have you?
I can tell you that Trieste doesn't look more Central European than Milan, Genoa, Rome, Barcelona, Madrid or Malaga...
Well, all those places were influenced at some point by Habsburgic sense of lush city building perhaps.

My girl is from Fiume. I was in Triest, few days ago, it is a very good looking city.

And it is visible in the architecture. Many downtown streets similar to Vienna or Budapest. However the local people in Triest mostly medo looking

They are neither medo looking nor central euro looking, they're just Italians. They may seem like central euro looking to Sicilians but they look distinct Italian.

Northern Italy is the link between Mediterranean and Central Europe, a sub-continental (or sub-mediterranean) place.
