Its a city built on the water.....forgive me....I am Northern euro and love the city. Such a contraption has always fascinated me. Italy is so regional....hahaha. My step mother is from the South/well south central.
My step mother is Tuscan and Southern Italian. Tuscany is popular here to Americans I know this because they all talk about it [those who visit there]....very old streets, architecture, nice landscape etc.. I have seen pictures of it. Looks pretty cool.

Partly true, certain phenotypes are pan-Italian enough to be found almost everywhere, personally in the coastal Veneto I noticed many phenotypes similar to those of my area of origin (Gargano, north east Puglia) the majority of people would have passed very quietly, it's probably due to a sort of common "Adriatic" aspect, I honestly don't know

From my quite dilluted and adapted experience of "Northern Italian-ness" we are a lot more Italian than anything, most tries to link us closely to Germans and Austrians are exaggerations from dishonest types who try to darkwash everyone under the Po River.
I believe a lot of the confusion stems from the fact that the Southern Italian archeype spreaded out a lot more. The personality, the lifestyle, the looks, and especially the food.
Even to myself it felt weird as a kid that I was Italian, but grandma never made me Pizza, Spaghetti or Cannoli, that we were not as passionate, dramatic and sensitive as people said. We were just a bit less
I admire our hard work and ambition. I dislike the fact that we on average have the reflective thoughts of a monkey and no sense for art and beauty.

They're Italian just like Southerners but with their own idiosyncrasies that also vary inside the region itself, as has been mentioned here.
