Oh God poor Italy, a nation torn apart not even able to see the same when it comes to playing cards. Truly a cursed people
I mean, up until the '50s they didn't even speak the same language... every region had their own language (Italians call them "dialect", but they're in fact different langauges). Then television came and unified the language (standard Italian is just the dialect of Tuscany).
Italy is a very young country. Sure, the Ancient Romans unified the whole Europe, but Italy has only became a nation in 1861. Pretty young country if you ask me.
I like the story of mid-1800s crowds shouting "viva L’Italia!" and half the crowd wondering "who is Talia? Garibaldi's wife?"
Wait until you see that every regione has their own drawings for the same suits
