Italy? That's a funny way to spell the Netherlands.
>>some of the finest music ever made
Agree on everything but I wonder what foreigners know about italian music outside of classical and opera pieces
Well done Macedanon
>most beautiful language in Europe
Italian is ugly as fuck. Norwegian is the most beautiful language.
>OMG Italian disco!!!!
Well we still do them, it's just that we had a row of bio-medical scandals in the last decade.
It's not really well put here.
We believe in vaccines, but we don't trust the medical labs/companies.
We had this guy.

I really don't know a lot about italian music outside of, like you said, opera/classical, Toto Cutugno and such.
expected
never heard of him
I know many singers are famous in latin america and sing spanish version of their songs like Tiziano Ferro, Laura Pausini, Nek
Why is Japan so high in comparison to the rest of Eastern Asia?
What were the scandals?
>best food in Europe
Meh. At the best a shared first place.
>most beautiful language in Europe
"no"
>finest art and architecture in the world
Not probably the best but ranks highly.
>cultural heart of Europe
Hasn't been for 300 years.
>beautiful women
Sure
>some of the finest music ever made
True but the Krauts beat them easily.
>glorious history
Sure
>kind and passionate people
True.
Pretty much everything also applies to France, except the last part. French people are horrible.
anglo brainwashing, people spending time with french people appreciate them
Anglos are all various degree of horrible as well with Brits being the worst.
>Its an italy thread
Exactly what i was thinking, lol good one user.
Lol yeah sure , because everybody has heard someone saying "i would love to learn norwegian"
Romance languages are far superior.

No
German boomers love Eros Ramazotti.
Iraly and France are both shitholes
>Not probably the best but ranks highly.
Florence is the most beautiful city on the earth in terms of architecture. Further, you can seriously not take art from the Italians—it’s theirs. You can argue music, language, whatever, but not art. Who else even rivals?
>Italy has but they're close
Dumbass.
I was more thinking about averages rather than a singular best example. But by that criteria Italy probably has the best architecture and art.
>Who else even rivals?
Architecturally they completely dominate the Renaissance style (Brunelleschi, Bramante, Alberti), even though the French renaissance has its own tasteful variations. However they lack any grand gothic (Flanders, northern France), moorish (Spain), Art nouveau/Secessionsstil (Mitteleuropa, Spain, France), neo-baroque (Austria, Germany, France) and neoclassical buildings. They have excellent baroque (like everywhere else in Europe) and fascist architecture though.
So yeah, cities like Florence or Sienna are sumptuous because they are purely Renaissantes, but I won't say that Italian architecture is the absolute best.
As for painting, I'd say the Dutch, the Spanish and the French.
go back to portugal
How in the world do you put the Spanish above the Italians in terms of painting? I get having an affinity for French or Dutch painting (I do too) and trying to make a case there, but the Spanish? Seriously? You want to put Goya and El Greco up against Titian, Caravaggio, and
Michelangelo? I mean, Velasquez is one of my favorite painters, but on the whole I don’t think Spain compares to the Italians

You forgot TACATA, best fusion of cuban and sicilian cultures
youtu.be
You should had put "best food and language last " that shit is no brainer that you're talking about Italy
as much as I want to agree, there are cases to be made for both
french high cousine and patisserie is better and I prefer the spoken french for girls
nobody but you has
Yes
cringe
Yes
No the cultural heart of Europe is Germany, France and America
Sure
No. most classical music is from Germany and Austria
cringe
no they aren't.

>Talking about contributions.
>How in the world do you put the Spanish above the Italians in terms of painting?
I don't. But they have extraordinary painters nonetheless.
>You want to put Goya and El Greco
Velasquez and Zurbaran rather
>Velasquez is one of my favorite painters
Mine too, without a doubt one of the greatests painter ever.
>but on the whole I don’t think Spain compares to the Italians
Probably true, though the point is still the same, namely that Italian art isn't the absolute best.
The fuck are you talking about, Norwegian is a dry ass language.
>Northern Macedonia
I don't even want to take this bait (but I already took it)
>French people are horrible
Absolutely mean and uncalled for. Please apologize, Finland.
Kek, while I was reading this I was thinking that all of it applies to Italy
>However they lack any grand gothic
>neoclassical buildings
massive retard, there are both, as well as byzantine and central european (asburgic) style buildings
you know nothing about architecture
>omg country good/bad!
why are jurobaboon simps like this?
Gothic architecture comparable to the cathedrals of Köln? Rouen? Chartres? I doubt it.
As for neoclassical style, I wouldn't dare compare Piermarini or Valadier with Le Vau, Le Nôtre, Fischer von Erlach or Hardouin-Mansart.
this Europoor nigga never get tired of posting bout the EU but we finna bust caps in all Europoor asses soon enough and bury them for good
It's an objective fact though. Italy hasn't been the center of European culture for many centuries.
not really comparable, but to say we have nothing to do with gothic is quite the stretch
>lack any moorish
someone's never been to Sicily
>neoclassical

Not him, but seriously, come on..
did you even read my post
French people are really quite arrogant though. Even if they dont mean to be they come across as rude to other cultures because of the way they are
french a gay
Celentano was big thing in Soviet Union
Beautiful, hard to believe the façade was just completed in the 19th century.
