Italy Is a Culturally Integrated Country Despite Its Historical Fragmentation (Essay, Inspired by Hofstede’s Theory of Culture, about North League’s Thesis about “Many Italies”)

Vol.4,No.2(2013)

Abstract
This article is an essay about the italian cultural integrity. It is a reaction to the thesis of italian radical right populist party North League declaring that unification of Italy was a historical mistake and contemporary Italy was originated artificially from several nations which don’t have common history and culture. This essay aims to demonstrate the inaccuracy of the North League’s thesis on the basis of Italian history and Hofstede’s theory of five dimensions. The author purports to prove that Italians are one nation with one culture.
