[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it is a poor country. We take our air conditioning and otherluxuries for granted in the US..[/quote] Italy a poor country? It’s part of the G7, meaning the 7 biggest economies in the world! [/quote] So. It's slightly more complicated than that. The North of Italy is one of most economically successful regions of Europe, and has industries that are extremely well run. The South of Italy is a corrupt mafia preserve that even with its roaring tourism industry, is way behind in terms of infrastructure and services. The North helps the South survive. It's a HUGE point of regional contention, because who wants their clean, hard-working North Italian euros going towards barely legal or extralegal organizations in the South? This is Italy's problem.
