Have a Sicilian family. Can confirm.
I feel like those “Alpsy” bastards would be there at 2:55.
Like Germans

Ist des Deutschen Pünktlichkeit
Early is on time, and on time is late
This is the way

Agreed. If a meeting starts at 3. Everyone is ready by 3. That’s basic respect of others time.

I dont understand how a society can function like Southern Italy here. Why not just do the thing when you say you will, and say you will do the thing when you intend to?
Well you see the map is a joke
Even so it must be rooted in some truth exaggerated for humor, right?
lol, are they not Italian?
Sicily (which would include the south end of the boot) would probably have the same label if it weren’t less funny that way. They were all distinct kingdoms and cultures for most of their history. the modern unified Italian identity is quite young by European standards, about as old as the US civil war
Isn’t that technically true about all of Italy?
I mean, it’s the same with Germany and we joke about how Bavaria isn’t really part of Germany so I don’t disagree with you
