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.
Italians aren't as appreciated as they should be when talking about historical accomplishments.

Italy (ESPECIALLY back when it was Ancient Rome) is WAAAAAY UP THERE historically speaking, but I still think that Ancient Greece has had the most positive influence for humanity throughout all of known human history. Here are SOME (though definitely NOWHERE NEAR ALL) of the reasons why:
* Science has its origins in Ancient Greece via Thales of Miletus, who was the first person in known human history to claim natural causes for phenomena (as opposed to supernatural causes, for example because of 'gods').
* Major mathematical principles originated from Ancient Greece via Pythagoras, Diophantus of Alexandria (the father of algebra) and Euclid (the father of geometry).
* The Latin script is the most widely used script in the world today and the mother of the Latin script is the Greek script.
* History was born in Ancient Greece via Herodotus.
* Democracy comes from Ancient Greece and, back then, democracy was not the shit-tier, so-called 'representative' bullshit we have today. The Ancient Greeks practiced direct democracy because their cities usually only had a few thousand people and only adult males were considered 'citizens', so everyone important had a say.
* Western philosophy, Western literature, the field of medicine, trial by jury and equality under the law all have their origin in Ancient Greece.
* Anaximander came up with a rudimentary theory of evolution millennia before Darwin was even born.
* Greco-Roman culture was exported to literally every piece of land on Earth during the era of European colonialism.
* Hero of Alexandria was responsible for the world's first steam-powered engine almost two millennia before the Industrial Revolution.
* Many words in European languages (like English, for example) are derived from the Greek language.

In terms of modern historical achievements, Britain is number one in my opinion. Britain has influenced humanity in many profound ways, such as the Industrial Revolution, the creation of the television, the creation of the computer, the creation of the World Wide Web, the scientific method, the creation of the telephone, Newtonian physics, free-market economics, parliamentary democracy, Cadbury chocolate, the spreading of English as a global language, the creation of the United States of America (the world's sole superpower) by rebellious British colonists, all clock-time on Earth being based on Greenwich Mean Time, the Enlightenment and the creation of many modern sports. Also:
"* The Declaration of Independence is a creation of British Americans.
* The Constitution of the United States is a creation of British Americans.
* The American Bill of Rights is a creation of British Americans.
* The American system of government: a Constitutional Republic with a separation of executive, legislative, and judicial powers is a creation of British Americans.
* Most American Presidents, Senators, and Congressmen, Governors and Ivy League University Presidents have been British Americans."

Anglos didn't do shit but leech off continental innovations, shift money around and then start invading and conquering places.
The only great thing Anglos did was settle new lands and continents as well as colonise other places. But this got pissed away eventually anyway and Britain has no empire to speak of anymore.
But they lost all this and the US after the revolution actually repudiated much of the British imperial order and style of politics (why do you think the US Constitution barely resembles Westminster government?).
All the while Britain would busily sell out Europe for their own interests, even favouring mudslime shitskins over liberating Christian Europeans (Crimean war).

Italy had its Renaissance, but that's where it ended. The best music was written in the late 18th century and was mostly a Germanic affair (Verdi deserves recognition, of course). Early modern and modern philosophy (from the 1600s to 1900) was dominated by the English and Germans, and French to a lesser degree. Italy doesn't even register. And while Italy deserves praise for its contribution to art, by the 1600s, it was overtaken by the Dutch and French.
All told, it's hard to take the claim that Italy was GOAT seriously. They had a couple of high points in history, but haven't been relevant for centuries.
Wyatt Brown
French cooking is literally dead.
Chef of the Century Paul Bocuse sent his son Jerome to study at the Culinary Institute of America in New York.
He admitted America's culinary acumen has far surpassed French tradition and fervently supports the expansion of the gastronomic arts in countries outside of France.
Le Cordon Bleu is bankrupt and closing 100% of its schools due to foreign matriculation to the Culinary Institute of America. They even have a student run restaurant on their campus named after Bocuse.
Pic related.
Go back to your mushy peas and curry, faggot.

Pizza is the equivalent of fast food, not even an Italian would would list it as high class cuisine.
Meanwhile there are countless unique Italian dishes which are considered art, but what a Brit would know about that? Your country "cousine" (and mine too, ofc) is completely irrelevant and borderline disgusting.

From my limited personal experience while traveling Italy:
Huge variety of delicious cheese. Cured meat to die for (I cannot eat our "ham" anymore, the difference in quality is gargantuan) Excellent bread Gelato and other desserts Exquisite wine Literally hundreds different pasta combinations.
Connor Parker
The Roman period and the renaissance were pretty good. Great countryside, nice easy-going lifestyle. However - and I know you're going to scoff - your food's over-rated, at least your everyday stuff. Fuck pasta. British food is better. Oh, I know our restaurants were shit, but we simply didn't have a culture of eating out. We cooked and ate at home. Simple food cooked well. Everyone knows the Full English breakfast is food of the champions, but a proper roast beef with all the trimmings is food of the gods. Washed down with a proper strong ale. You can keep your stodgy pasta.
