Greatest country in the world?

I think Italy blows every other nation out of the water.

Best set of inventors by far: The following inventions among many others can be credited to Italians: construction: paved roads, arched bridges, aqueducts; art and music: piano, harpsichord, violin, viola, cello, bass, opera; science and technology: electric battery (Volta), telephone (Meucci), radio (Marconi), microprocessor (Faggin), moveable type (Castaldi), loudspeaker (Marzi), sound on film (Rappazzo), thermometer (Santorio), barometer (Torricelli), compass (Gioja), seismograph (Cecchi), telescope (Galileo), nuclear reactor (Fermi), internal combustion engine (Matteucci, Barsanti), first petrol engine (Bernardi), steam turbine (Branca), jet engine (Campini), carburetor (DeCristoforis), hydraulic motor (Ramelli), helicopter (Forlanini), hydrofoil (Forlanini), seaplane (Calderara), motor scooter (D'Ascanio), eyeglasses (Spina, D'Armate), torpedo (Luppis), revolver (Broccu); food: espresso, capucinno, pasta (not invented in China), pizza.

They had the best set of explorers: Marco Polo, Cristoforo Colombo (Christopher Columbus), Amerigo Vespucci (America), Giovanni Caboto (John Cabot), Verrazzano

Best artists and sculptors: Leonardo DaVinci, Michaelangelo, Botticelli, Ghiberti, Bartolini, Donatello, Rafael, many others

Composers: Monteverdi, Cavalli, Vivaldi, Verdi, many others

Writers, historians, and philosophers: Ovid, Livy, Lucretius, Pliny, Plutarch, Seneca, Virgil, Cicero, Boccaccio, Petrarch, Machiavelli, Cicero, Marcus Aurelius, Dante, Thomas Aquinas, Anselm, many others

Pretty much all of the so-called 'finest' physical things in life are made by Italians: the finest paintings, finest sculpture, finest foods (maybe competing with French food), finest clothes, finest cars (Lamborghini, Ferrari, Pagani), finest construction and building materials. No other nation comes close to matching Italians for craftsmanship.

Anyone have any serious challengers?

Colombo was Portuguese

>Faggin
This says enough.

I unironically think Russia is the best overall. It's harsh, bizarre, its own people will be the first to tell you it has a lot of problems. Yet Russian science, architecture, literature art and culture of all kinds has a very impressive history.

I'd also argue that the 'finest paintings' aren't italian.

>Mooretuguese
>B-But were better than Italians!
Just give up already

literally WE WUZ

Maybe, if Italy were similar and homogeneous and like one nation. As it stands though the North and South are totally different, almost like entirely different countries. An overwhelmingly disproportionate amount of the innovation comes from Northern Italy and its city states relative to the South, which is much less developed.

It is without a doubt that Italy is objectively not the best country it is Germany, Austria, England, China, Japan, or Russia. These country have had greater impacts.

If you take Germany combined with Austria then you have the greatest country.

lol no

Genovese, or a Jew the jury is still out on that point.

>north: economy
>south: culture
This happens because real Italian culture has always thrived in the center and the south.
The north was a frontier.
Then some eurocuck northerner came in and fucked everything up.
Namely Camillo fucking Benso and company. They fucked everything up.
As of today, the south is still economically underdeveloped because of the huge gap created by fucking northern literal kikes back in the 19th century.

On the other hand, the north as of today has become a den of cuckery, corruption, eurofaggotry and americanized, bastardized, globalised cancer, while the center and the south especially still retain their extremely conservative, extremely identitarian culture.
The more you know

You know your country is named after an Italian, right?

...

USA is the best country faggots. I've been to various countries and Japan or any Nordic country comes second.

I agree but

>competing with French food
lel french food sucks

It is a fact that Italy wipes the floor with everyone else if we combine both their modern and ancient accomplishments. Snowniggers will always have an eternal inferiority complex towards Mediterraneans due to this.

I like meatball subs.

>Greatest country in the world?
America.

Well thank you OP, i share the sentiment. We'll try to keep up as soon as get free of the eternal meddling german.

>Ps you forgot to mention Fascism

You purpotedly forgot someone, piece of shit freedom fries eater

I googled "American inventors" and Google gave me a bunch of black people, what are some American inventors other than the Wright clowns who stole the airplane from Dumont?

Historically, I like France. But they're cucked by muslims now. Frexit when?
