Inventors Italians:Volta, Marconi, Pacinotti, Meucci, Barsanti, Perotto, Faggin, etc. Iberians:???
Painters Italians:Da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Botticelli, Caravaggio, Boccioni, etc. Iberians:Retards who painted like 5 year olds.
The pattern is the same for all fields of intellectual endeavor, Iberians are consistently subsaharan african tier.

Oh yes, Romans were so Italian they had to import their entire culture from Greece. Took their art, took their gods, even took the fucking alphabet (Chalcidian). Romans stole more than niggers.

Germany and Italy had the lamest colonies ever, just because they wanted to be like us (the countries with overseas territory that were worth anything).
Samuel Garcia
Is mostly this we all love Italy and despise France
Henry Diaz
They're not really that much alike. Iberians originate from Celts and Basques to a smaller extent, the latinisation came later, with the Roman empire. Also, the muslim conquest left a strong mark on Iberian culture as well.
Colton Ramirez
Iberians are a mix of German crusaders, Gauls, Romans.
Iberia was good land for cattle, grapes, wheat, olives. Retired Roman soldiers settled it to farm it. Celts who didn't submit got kicked out.
The aqueducts and farming infrastructure built by the Romans increased the population Iberia held.
Moors and Arabs got kicked out. Medieval Iberia was segregated and miscegenation was not encouraged among the Christian kingdoms.

Outlaw Germans, German adventurers used to take pilgrimages to Iberia where they'd join the war against the Muslims.
German kings would send troops to reinforce the Christian Kingdoms.
Also, the Northernmost kingdoms who didn't bend the knee to the Muslim were run by Germans who were descendants of Visigoths.
Iberia was a PVP MMO battleground for 700+ years.

This is kind of wrong. Cordoba was a knowlege and artistic center for a while. Great architecture too. Later on the region just lacked political stability to be productive in that way.
Also, lots a famous spanish painters you are just uncultured

So are Sicilians. That's what abundant North African/Arab mixture does to a European people. This should be a warning to leftists, but they can't even see it when it's right in their face. Greece knows what's up, its in their blood to be a vanguard against brown shits.

Northern Italy has been a settled 'capitalist' society for longer than the fringes of Northern Europe
There were surely selective pressures for intellect from approx 300BC to the Renaissance, which were less prevalent in places such as coastal Norway or Ireland were more forms of work were physical in nature
A similar story to Ashkenazi Jews

It's well documented and not controversial that Romans directly adopted Greek deities and culture in general.

There are 5 things that make us move: 1. Gold 2. Purging heretics 3. Partying 4. Relaxing 5. Women
That's about it, almost no one cares about anything else. The ancient Iberians were known as mercenaries too. We were bred for war not math and painting, unless there's a lot of money involved that pushes it.
Leo Rivera
Ever heard of the fucking kingdom of Lombardy? The Germans moved into northern Italy and then that area became part of the HRE which was intergrated well into that cultural sphere.
They also benifited from greeks fleeing the turks and bringing byzantine knowledge with them
The Spaniards on the other hand were basically half Arab by the end of the reconquista.
It was easy to do so because they all harkened back to a prehistoric proto-Indo-European pantheon.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Go get an education, you moron. I am not here to bash on the great Italianbros of the past. They were truly great. Up to the 1800s they were unmatched in all of Europe. Maybe by the Brits... but still.
Despite the fact that we have been falling behind the Italianbros ever since 753 b.C. I'll tell you that we were certainly not as far behind them in any field or endevour as most of Northern and Eastern Europe.
Also, Italianbros back then were to busy being second class citizens while we were building empires and beating muslims. Also, we (well, the Spaniards... well, specially the Catalans) rulled Italy for most of the time so...
Really, get an education.
Mathematicians: Pedro Nunes. (I know nothing about most Italians you posted, I don't like Maths much).
Scientists: See... We basically re-invented seamanship. We were pioneers in aviation; we... we...
Inventors: We recently invented a lot of shit like pre paid cards and shit.
Painters: Zé Malhoa, Bordalo Pinheiro... our mastership over tiles and "floor stones" is legendary.
Fuck off and get an education.

Really, to me Goya is right there among the greatest of Italy. Way better than Da Vinci in my opinion.
If you want to talk trash about Portuguese painters be my guest, but Spanish painters were actually some of the best in the world.
To me, painting is: French Academicists Spanish and Italian painters; Some XIX century British guys.
And there's no more.

Connor Davis
Based Polish bro,
Don't be like that. Romans were really really cool. Romans set the foundations of our civilisation and we only equaled them in the 1800s and we are already in (great) decline.
Romans were very original in their technical skills, their combat skills and discipline, as well as tactics and strategy... their engeneering skills were legendary. And their political system, their roads, their "mos maiorum" / values... They were very very original.
That they "stole" everything they could find from others, while being true, only attests to their supremacy. And the fact that they improved almost everything they stole from others and that they basically improved the lives of everybody they conquered (after a while) is an attestment to their greatness.
Greeks were shit compared to Romans.
Zachary Cooper

Holy shit this, I actually learned this in college. Taught by a Scottish professor no less. It's kind of amazing how well the protestant propaganda has worked against Spain. Hardly anyone outside of Spain and Portugal know about the achievements of Iberians.

It's worth noting that a lot of these DNA tests have been debunked for using faulty samples. They test a lot of people that claim Spanish ancestry without actually checking. It's not the most thorough test.

I meant the class I learned about the Salamanca school was taught by a scottish professor in my university.
Nathan Lewis
I know it's just bait...
But according to your logic the Germans are Italians because the German polty was called "Holy Roman Empire" for a 1000 years.
Think about it. For a thousand years (up to Napoleon) your precious Germanic shit was controled and legitimised by its Italian-ness.
Northern Europeans are indeed pathetic beasts, (except Brits, they created a country and maintained it and ruled the world. Except Brits, Northern Euros are a fucking joke)
Sebastian Gray
Yes, Salamanca and Coimbra were the true centers of European learning before Cambridge and Oxford became big. Also, how could I ever forget Bologne?
We have nothing to learn from Northern Euros. What we have to do is to purge ourselves from their heresies and then we will be free to be Great Again.
Benjamin Russell
Shouldn't you be napping during your 2-hour siesta break instead of shitposting?

We do have painters and all of the above-mentioned things,but you also have to take into account our economy was geared towards war and religion. And our personal values were basically honour and religion,those were the virtues of any spanish at that time,people weren't admired for inventing shit,they were admired for being a chad and have them stacies mirin. It was a religious chavocracy ruled by neets like charles 4th who couldn't leave his basement and had to wear diapers. All the while we kicked the jews...spain...was 4 chan

Even in Portugal and Spain that shit is not generally known.
Ever since the XIX century our (Traditional) History has been white washed. We are fed with a Northern European (?) mindset of work is better than spirit. We are thought that our history was too violent, and that we were basically barbarians. And when they like it some part of our History, they omit the violence so that we appear "softies".
From 1807 to basically WWII my country has been at war almost all the time. Political assassinations happened almost every year... parts of the country were under guerilla war and were not controled. Secret societies spanned everywhere and killed and fought. How are we thought about that: That it was "a difficult time" and that we truly are a people of "soft ways" (peaceful, tolerant, whatever).
I could go on and on, but all I want to say is that our History and our Greateness is purposefully hidden from us ever since the free masons leached to power and have enforced their Napoleonic/Protestant way of thinking on us.
They even dare to attribute our greatness to the (((Jews))) and our fall to having expelled (((them))). Even though we only fell 400 years after expelling (((them))) and there were no Jews around anymore.

How Portugal got fucked:
1580 -> Portuguese King dies at 14 fighting the Moroccans in fucking Morocco. Had he managed to conquer the city he was fighting for, we'd have a clean and permanent control over Northern Morocco as it was the last city we needed to control before we reached the natural barrier of the river Sous in Nothern "Green" Morocco. (We started going at it in 1415 and by 1471 we only lacked that city to close in). Basically, the Spaniard Habsburgs get to inherit our Kingdom. We get to fight their wars. We lose most of our preponderance in overseas territories.
1755 -> The Earthquake destroys Lisbon completely, which at the time was probably one of the top four richest cities in Europe. The wonderful capital of the Atlantic, as it was called then. We manage to rebuild but it was truly fucked up.
1820 -> Aftet beating Napoleon Grand-Armée we get fucked by our (((liberals))) and (((masons))) who destroy our country trhough mercenaries and impose the Napoleonic heresies. All our instutuions vanish overnight. Most of our nobles who have fought for the Traditionalist cause get expelled and our biggest better and richest colony, Brazil, becomes independent.
1910 -> Republic is installed. Even more cucked.
1974 -> Empire and "fascism" is done away with. We get poor, the current (((modernities))) are enforced and we join the E.U. for gibs.
If we managed to hold to our traditions and institutions... the world would be much better now.
Julian Stewart
Inquistion was also around in Italy and France. It was basically a re-call of the Roman "Censors".
Inquistion did nothing wrong. Well it did, but in its worst year, it was responsible by about 5% of the total deaths "demanded by the courts".
Hudson Gonzalez
Picasso is a shit. >it took me 2 years to learn to paint like Raphael and a lifetime to paint like a child nigger you wish he could paint anywhere near the caliber of the old masters. He was a poser, realized he couldn't achieve their level, so he sperged out

Austin Gutierrez
LOOOOL You were funny about the British, I give you that. And of course we need them, otherwise how could we ever project power in the way we have done... Everybody needs friends... Whose yours?
Now, seriously, please show us the data adjusted for purchasing power parity. Your GDP per capita is what, still 80% higher, right? Your total GDP is what? 80% of ours? Yeah...
But let's dig deeper. Ever since the 80s we did away with our industry to please the E.U. did you know Spain in 86 had a fishing fleet bigger and more productive than France, Germany and Italy combined? Did you know ours was half of Spain? We used to fish all the way from Norway to Canada and south to Cape Verde...
Also, did you know that by 1975 our ship building and shipping industry was 5 times as productive as Denmark's. Maersk and all...
But let's talk about the present and about economy. I have a "researcher" of "politics and international relations" and sometimes I find fun numbers that shock even me. Did you know that in 2012, even during the crisis, our population under the poverty line was 21% compared to Denmark's 7%? That was "after social transfers". The paper I recieved mention that if we did not take into account "social transfers" (basically all welfare) the Portuguese population below the poverty line would be some 32% compared to Denmarks's 47%. How fucked up is your system?
Let's also take into account that by 2.300€ a month (2013 levels) in Portugal it is the equivalent to control a share of our economy - adjusted to purchasing power - to 5.000€ in Denmark. The upper middle class here easily males 4 to 7 thousand € a month. Do you envisage the difference between the power of our elites over yours purely in economic terms?
How come there's no billionairs in Denmark? Oh wait... there's a guy in Spain who is worth about 20% of Danish GDP...
Your economic power is just a curtain of smoke. It will crumble down soon enough. I pitty you.
Christopher Smith

Once you realise that Plus Ultra is something you and your "Nations" will never attain, you'll understand why you are only barely European. Until then you'll have to be proud of your blue eyes only, like my retarded unemployed cousin.

Why is being "basicly German" always a sign of being better in here. Germany is a great nation that achived a lot and the world owes a lot to them but they also fucked up so much in our recent history. Spain used to rule half of the world and even today it's a fairly successful country. Italians had more nobel prize winners than Spain? Kudos. So what though?
