      ​​@@seekingabsolution1907 no, there's more. In Italy we have a strong antagonism between the north and the south.
      Milan is considered as the "capital" of the north and Naples the one of the south.
      The troubles run very deep, they regard both really important subjects and superficial ones so there's always a lot of tension.
      It's more like Pyongyang vs Seuol if the war was 160 years ago and no one wants to conquer the other.
      I'd like to add that the people from the north are very pissed off because all the Italian stereotypes are about the southern population.

    I did a Chinese class in China. Chinese is a spoken language (Mandarin) and a written language. The written language is considered more difficult and time-consuming, so Japanese kids who couldn't speak a word of Chinese but had studied the writing their whole lives were bumped up to level 2 or 3. The children of Chinese emigrants (华裔), like someone born and raised in Australia to Chinese parents, who could speak well but could barely write their own names were put in level 1. So in level 1 Chinese I had classmates that would have full conversations with the teacher. On top of that, they typically spoke a weird dialect of Chinese. A lot of them spoke the notorious dialect of Wenzhou, which was used as a code language during World War II.
    I did this class in a university in Zhejiang province. When Chinese people migrated around the world, a lot of them stuck together and migrated together. I think the statistic was that 90% of Chinese immigrants in Italy were originally from Zhejiang. If I had to guess the university's largest foreign student demographic, it was Koreans, then Russians, then Italians, mostly ethnic Chinese-Italians, then Japanese.
    In short, I saw this scene in real life every day for 4 months, minus the guitar.

    I'm Italian and my Italian gf and I live in San Diego. She is an English Tutor (lol, I know but she is very good at it and has basically no accent) at a local Community college. The funniest thing is that they allowed her to take courses and she took an Italian class (she was surprised she could) mostly to learn more about teaching a language in the US. But of course, there was nothing to learn for her given it was a basic 101 class. The teacher was asking continuously to her how to pronounce words.

    we have so many distinct inner rivalries between cities. a lot of them involving Milano (everyone hates Milano but they'll all still move there to find a job).
    you could uncover a whole Silmarillion of Italian rivalry lore.
